Defining Health Education

Post an explanation of how you would define health education and why. Briefly describe what population and health issue you would address if you were assigned to design and implement a prevention program. Be sure to include what level of prevention (primary, secondary, or tertiary) you would select for this program and explain how this level of prevention will address the health issue described. Be specific and provide examples.
