Tobacco use
Excessive alcohol consumption

7. Lifestyle Has the greatest impact on one’s health
Decisions a person makes, from the clothes they wear, their physical activity, the foods they eat and how they manage stress all make up lifestyle.
Many of these choices have substantial impact on the likelihood of that person developing a chronic disease
Reducing the risks for these leading causes of death is done by improving or eliminating the risk factors that cause them.

8. Health Determinants
Each partner pair will receive a different health problem.
Decide which health determinant has the most influence on the assigned health problem
List on the back side of your index card WHY you think your problem is associated most with that determinant.
If your notecard has two categories, decide which determinant has the MOST influence.
Tape your card below the appropriate sign. Be prepared to share with the class your decision.

10. Chronic Disease Project
You will become an expert on a chronic disease
The goal of this assignment is to educate the class on the chronic disease by answering the following questions: *Hint* Use your guided notes for reference
What is the chronic disease?
Are there different types of the disease?
How is it treated? Are there symptoms?
Behavioral factors?
Environmental factors?
Ways to prevent this disease?
Next, create a presentation to educate the class- example: power point, poster, PSA video)
Lastly, develop a campaign awareness in your school to reduce the risks for your chronic disease (how can you spread awareness in your school?) You will only need to present your campaign outlines
