Question

Throughout this course, you will learn about behavioral aspects in each unit that relate to a particular health issue. All the aspects will come together in your final course project in Unit VII. In this unit, you will research a known health issue that affects a population in your area that could be positively changed through health behavior. Make sure to address the following: Describe your local area (e.g., urban, rural, coastal) and the health issue that you researched. Describe the target population (e.g., ethnicity group, median income, age group, gender, etc.). Briefly discuss the relationship between the identified health issue and the target population. What specific health behaviors can be noted? State, city, and census websites are a good place to gather data and information (e.g., community health rankings and roadmaps, prevention status reports, community commons, behavior risk factor surveillance system, etc.). Analyze how the identified health behaviors are positively or negatively affected (or can be affected) by at least two levels of the socioecological model. How do determinants of health affect the target population that you have researched? How might the determinants of health that were identified affect a health educator who is using the PRECEDE-PROCEED planning model?
