WEEK 4

Health Behaviours of Young People

Last lesson you were asked to complete an activity on p20 regarding your perceptions of the health of young people. We have already looked at an article in class titled “Young people’s health and well-being”. Pairs were asked to summarise a section of this and hand to me. We will briefly look at the summary on Monday and also look at the 2007AIHW report. If you get a chance to look before Monday it is the Executive Summary pages 10-12 from the link above.

What are your own perceptions of youth health??

Would your parents answer the same way? Why or why not?

Don’t forget to survey 5 people over 30yrs age about some of their perceptions of youth health. We will compare these with the facts next lesson. Feel free to comment on the questions above- not compulsory but would be interesting!!!
