Hi all! I had a great time learning with everyone and from what has been posted so far, it seems that everyone else feels the same. Success! Here's my final reflection:
What interests me about the topic "Adolescent Health Promotion"? Is it different from what you reported at the start of the class?
It's very interesting to me all of the different aspects of adolescent health there are and how complicated each one is. It's amazing how many different influences there are on each decision a teen makes when it comes to their health. At the beginning of class, I was completely baffled by the the thought processes behind a teen's health decisions, but after completing the class and workshop, I feel that I understand their mental processes better. I now see that there are a variety of aspects that teens consider when making their health decisions, even if they don't seem to be the most conscientious to me.
How did this class impact me as a health professional?
As a health professional, I feel that I am better able to comprehend the fact that there are many aspects to individuals' health decisions that I can not see or would not think of. This will definitely come in handy. In order to create a successful health communication program, I would need to know the factors that impact their decisions in order to have the most effect.
Where do I go from here?
From here, I hope to be able to better understand individual health decisions and to appreciate the complexities behind them. I will continue to learn about different population and health communication techniques to hopefully improve health communication programs and public health. I hope to work with adolescent populations since I've seen firsthand that they do actually care.
Good luck to everyone in your future endeavors and have a great rest of the summer! Hope to see you guys around!
