Health risk appraisals aim to identify unhealthy lifestyle practices and positive health behaviors in order to identify areas for health improvement.
The essential difference between health promotion and disease prevention (health protection) lies in the motivation. When a healthy behavior, such as exercise, is done for the person to feel "good," to achieve a high level of wellness, the behavior is health promotion. When a healthy behavior is done to prevent a disease, it is disease prevention (health protection).
