Health Education/Promotion Resource Guide

The director of the public health center where you work would like your team at the center to collaborate with other health educators to create a series of resource guides that provide theory- and evidence-based practices to address specific health behaviors other than physical activity, eating habits, tobacco use, and alcohol abuse. The center already has an abundance of resources to address these “top four” health behaviors, and patients could really benefit from additional resources.

To start the process, the director created a list of priority health behaviors that emerged from the community’s most recent health assessment. As the senior health educator, you get to choose from the list first. Choose one of the topics from the list below and then follow the instructions for creating the resource guide.

1. Healthy sleep habits
2. Stress management
3. Bullying (both in person and cyber-bullying)
4. Screen time (any screen use, e.g., phones, computers, television, video games)
5. Health screenings (focus on screenings for a specific population rather than a specific screening)
6. Safe sexual practices
7. Opioid abuse

After you choose a behavior from the list, consider one of the major health education/promotion settings (i.e., school, healthcare, worksite, or community) where the behavior might be an issue. Some behaviors may be an issue in multiple settings (e.g., healthy sleep). Other behaviors are a typically an issue in one setting (e.g., bullying). For the purpose of this Performance Task assessment, choose only one setting (and a specific target population, if needed). In reality, however, you would include best practices for different settings. If you would like to select a non-traditional/alternative setting (e.g., universities, home, or prisons), consult with your instructor first to get approval. 

Below are the required components and sections of the guide. Please click each panel and read the instructions carefully to avoid missing an important part of the guide.
