Learning Goal: I’m working on a public health presentation and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

For this assignment, you will develop and deliver a 10–15 minute seminar/workshop aimed at the teen or young adult audience on a specific health risk associated with the population. You will submit your presentation using the Panopto recording tool.

* If you predominantly work with a specific population and would like to present a relevant health risk seminar to that population, you must seek instructor approval in advance. Email your instructor through the Virtual Office.

1.Choose a health risk associated with adolescence. Some categories to consider may include:

oSuicide

oPregnancy

oSubstance use and abuse

oMotor vehicle crashes

oTobacco use

oSexually transmitted disease

oDomestic violence

oAn overview of the risk factor

oContributing factors

oPrevalence of the health risk (meaningful data)

oExplain your role with the issue as a health care practitioner/advocate

oWays to identify a problem and address the issue

oPresent an activity or project or exercise for the audience to engage in related to the topic

oHelp and support resources

3.In your research materials, incorporate 3–4 current sources with one containing the most current statistics.

4.Use age-appropriate creativity to ensure the message gets across to the selected audience. As you plan your seminar, consider:

oHow will you initiate a conversation (rather than give a lecture)?

oHow will you keep the attention and respect of this audience?

5.Use APA for citing and referencing your sources.

6.Keep your design and audio appropriate to the audience, yet professional. Your presentation must include both audio and visual components and be professional in nature.
