The failure of health promotion for marginalised populations Michael Roguski and Karen McBride-Henry - Wiley, 2020 - Australian and New Zealand Jounal of Public Health .

Conventional approaches to health promotion often exclude our most marginalised populations.1 This can be traced to a lack of trust of those who are conveying the particular message or call to action, a lack of resonance with the prioritisation of the particular message, different cultural priorities and understandings of key issues, and – above all – a lack of self-determination surrounding the population's determinants of health. In this sense, the marginalised population lacks agency in identifying their own priorities and the various ways that such determinants might be addressed. This commentary draws on the lived realities of criminal gang members and their whānau (wider family)2 as a means of highlighting the need for us to think differently about our approaches to health promotion. It is noteworthy that this discussion is equally relevant to a host of populations that exist external to dominant western discourses. (Authors' abstract). Record #8551
