Module 6 discussion
After thoroughly reading the chapters for this week, please
consider the following. Note that there are two distinct parts to this
discussion question.
Adolescents tend to engage in riskier behaviors than
individuals at other stages of development.
1. From your text discussion (make sure to draw in text
material) provide an overview of the cognitive/emotional/physical reasons why
adolescents engage in riskier behavior. Make sure to clearly address all three
domains.
2. Then, select a health-related issue from Chapter 11 and
propose a way to prevent with the issue in
adolescents by addressing the underlying problems. In this part, also
make sure to expressly draw in text material and cite correctly. Be sure to include enough detail for your
classmates to evaluate your proposal.
When you respond to your classmates, be sure to critique
their responses as well as make suggestions to improve the suggested
preventions
