**2. Methodology**

This chapter analysed and examined the concept of health promotion in Botswana and utilised document review to explore health promotion and disease prevention in Botswana. According to Centres for Disease and Prevention [2], document review "is a way of collecting data by reviewing existing documents". This entailed the review of available Botswana health policies and the different health programs implemented, the Ottawa Charter, and other unpublished documents to gain a contextual understanding of how Botswana promotes health and prevents diseases.
