Step 1: Research Healthcare Practices in schools and Community
Using online resources (city websites, school web pages, etc.) and/or “interviews” with experts
learn about how school and community affect personal health practices and behaviors.
Research should provide answers to the following questions:
What health-related services are provided in school and community that relate to disease prevention and health promotion? Describe these services. Include information about vision and hearing screenings, immunizations, etc.
How have these services affected personal health practices and behaviors?
How has technology impacted community health?
Step 2: Create 8 slides
Present your findings from Step 1.
Additionally, include the following:
Your personal assessment of how the school and community affect personal health practices and behaviors.
A list of sources used to gather your information.
