Health Family Tree Project

You are required to create your own Health Family Tree using the handout provided. You are free to interview your extended family to gather as much information as you can. The project will include brief demographic and health-related information on your family members (gender, birth date, date and cause of death [if appropriate]), acute and/or terminal and/or chronic illnesses, and health behaviors and habits (health promoting and health compromising behaviors). You may discuss any surprising findings and repetitive patterns. By using this information, you will assess your own health status (past, present, and future), and prepare an action plan for prevention and intervention targeting existing problems and risks by using behavior change methods we have learnt during the semester.

You are expected to submit the provided handout and a written paper (max. 4 pages, double-sided, double space, in APA format).

The deadline for this project is DECEMBER the 4th.
