For this assignment, you will determine how useful, accessible, and credible health resources are in your home, school, and community. Then, you will compare these resources by answering several questions and completing a graphic organizer. Background Information
Health resources include materials, people, and programs that help you make informed decisions and learn more about your own health and wellness. Having a good bank of health resources allows you to make healthy choices and helps you to identify and treat illnesses. Health resources can be all around you: your parents or guardians, reliable websites, local pharmacists, and your doctor are all possible resources. The usefulness and accessibility of these resources are important factors in deciding which ones you should consult.
