Applied Sciences WK 3 22 JULY ASSIGNMENT

ASSIGNMENT ORAL PRESENTATION 22 JULY

Topic: Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Through Physical Activity

Each student will prepare a 5 minute presentation explaining one specific health behavior. Since this is an essential portion of the course material, these presentations must be clear and professional. The professor will base grading on clarity of the presentation, accuracy and completeness of the information, application of a model, evaluation and original insight. You are required to use the voice and video options (so we can hear AND see you).  Upload you presentation into the discussion thread in week three. The presentation should include:

· Title slide (with your name) (SLIDE 1)

· Briefly define the health behavior (SLIDE 2)

· Briefly explain the public health significance of the behavior (i.e. provide statistics on the prevalence of the behavior, the population most at risk, etc.) (SLIDE 3)

· List at least two risk factors leading to the behavior (SLIDE 4)

· A risk factor is any attribute, characteristic or exposure of an individual that increases the likelihood of developing a disease or injury. Some examples of the more important risk factors are underweight, unsafe sex, high blood pressure, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WHO, 2015).

· Indicate at least two health consequences/effects/impacts of the behavior (SLIDE 5)

· Health effects (or health impacts) are changes in health resulting from exposure to a source.  For example, several health consequences of smoking include heart disease, stroke, lung cancer.  See the following link for additional information:

· cdc.gov

Apply the constructs of an appropriate behavior model or theory that we've learned about in the course. (SLIDES 6-7 MORE IF NEEDED)

 Describe methods for modifying the behavior (SLIDE 8)

 Professional References (look for websites with .gov, .edu, or use the textbook, or peer reviewed journal articles) (SLIDE 9)

Topic: Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Through Physical Activity

Submission

· Oral Presentations in class will meet the requirements for your Post

· Class Discussion will meet the requirements for your Replies (Attendance required)

· Presentation Slides are required to be uploaded to the Discussion.

1. Each Group will prepare a 15-minute presentation explaining one specific health behavior.

This behavior MUST differ from the behavior that you have chosen for your written assignments. These presentations must be clear and professional. Grades will be based on the clarity of the presentation, accuracy, and completeness of the information, application of a model, evaluation and original insight.

2. The presentation should include:

The significance of the health behavior Explain the public health significance of the behavior (i.e. provide statistics on the prevalence of the behavior, the population most at risk, etc.)

3. List at least two risk factors leading to the behavior.

A risk factor is any attribute, characteristic or exposure of an individual that increases the likelihood of developing a disease or injury. Some examples of the more important risk factors are underweight, unsafe sex, high blood pressure, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WHO, 2015).

4. Indicate at least two health consequences/effects/impacts of the behavior.

Health effects (or health impacts) are changes in health resulting from exposure to a source. For example, several health consequences of smoking include heart disease, stroke, lung cancer.

1. See the following link for additional information: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/site.html

5. Apply constructs of an appropriate behavior model or theory (This MUST be a model or theory that we have covered in the course

6. Describe methods for modifying the behavior

7. Please include a title slide and a reference slide that includes professional, academic references

8. Sample Topics: Behaviors improving sleep quality, child neglect and abuse, adolescent alcohol use and abuse, stress management, behaviors preventing depression or anxiety disorders, behaviors related to low risk sexual practices, behaviors preventing cardiovascular disease, drug use and abuse, violent behavior, preventing anger and raging, preventing cutting and self-mutilation, hypertension prevention behaviors, cancer prevention behaviors, etc.

9. S ince this is an essential portion of the course material, these presentations must be clear and professional. The professor will base grading on clarity of the presentation, accuracy, and completeness of the information, application of a model, evaluation, and original insight.
