PROJECT

To prepare:

• Select a health issue of interest to you.
• Identify the audience or population that you seek to educate about this issue.
• Search the Internet to find credible sites containing information about your selected topic.
• Review the two health literacy websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on strategies for presenting information.

To complete:

• Design an educational handout on the health issue you selected.
  • Include a cover page.
  • Include an introduction that provides:
    • An explanation of your issue and why you selected it
    • A description of the audience you are addressing
  • In the handout itself:
    • Develop your handout in such a way that it attracts the attention of the intended audience.
    • Include a description of the health issue and additional content that will enhance your message (i.e., key terms and definitions, graphics, illustrations, etc.).
    • Recommend four or five sites that provide clear, valuable, and reliable information on the topic.

Note: Remember to keep the information in your health handout and its design at the appropriate level for the audience you are seeking to inform. Submit your Assignment as a Word document.
