Discussion: Health Education in Action
One of the overarching roles of a health educator is to promote activities, behaviors, and lifestyles that
support well-being and reduce the chance of disease and injury. This may include services provided to
an individual or to an entire community. One of the responsibilities of a public health professional may
be to determine and/or efficiently mobilize an action plan to resolve a community health issue. In this
Discussion, you are provided a community health scenario, and you will decide how to proceed to
resolve the issue.
To Prepare:
Review the scenario provided by your Instructor. In this scenario, you have been called to educate a
specific population about a certain health issue. You will discuss ways to educate the population and
resolve the issue by considering the questions, below, and applying them to the scenario that was
posted by your Instructor.
By Day 3
Post your initial response to each of the questions below, supporting your ideas with scholarly
resources and citing all sources where they were used in your text.
1. Define and support your target audience, and be sure to specify if there will be more than one
targeted audience
2. Define the specific message you will relay to your audience(s)
3. Explain how, specifically, you will convey this message to your audience(s), including actions to be
undertaken and personnel involved
4. Discuss at least two ways that you could use social media as a means for reaching your
audience(s)
5. Describe at least one specific action that can impact the incidence rates (number of new cases)
