The leading causes of death in the United States can be prevented, to a large extent, by improving personal health choices. There personal choices require an individual to go through a decision making process throughout the day. Before a high school student arrives at school each day, he or she has intentionally and/or inadvertently made dozens of decisions. Examples of these decisions- Whether or not to take a shower, what to eat for breakfast, whether to ride the bus, drive themselves, or ride with a friend, whether or not to wear a seatbelt, whether or not to drive safely.

Responsible Decision Making Is crucial to living a healthy lifestyle and it requires skill and practice

Decision Making Steps Identify the decision, which needs to be made Gather relevant information from reliable sources List possible choices List the positive and negative outcomes of each choice Determine who could possibly be affected by your choice Determine who is influencing your choice Determine which choices have the most positive and the least negative outcomes Act upon your choice Evaluate the decision
