Activity Number 1.3

Program Outcome 1Program outcome 1: demonstrate foundational knowledge of health promotion and disease prevention. The third paper that I picked to demonstrate the first program outcome is a paper that was not written by myself, it was written by a fellow classmate. This is a project that I had to critique and give feedback on the paper. I had to look up the information that was presented to make sure that it was accurate and provided any additional information on the topic. In the summery of this paper, she gave some recommendations for health promotion for the reservations. I added several additional suggestions that incorporated traditional Native Indian culture such as bringing back native foods and food processing which will significantly decrease the insulin response and decrease Diabetes in the population.  This is a wonderful example of projects that I had thru out my classes of demonstrating a good foundation of health and health promotion concepts as they apply to real word populations and problems.  another reason that this type of activity is so good for this program as a whole is that it incorporates several of the targeted program outcomes into one task. I was able to practice my communication skills, critical thinking, and foundational knowledge of health and disease by completing this activity.  I also especially received great benefit from these types of activities, because I was able to learn new information from a different perspective, not just out of a book.
