Throughout this course, you have completed components of your Final Project. Initiating research to address a health issue as well as considering how to design, plan, and implement a health education program to address this health issue are important skills for a health educator. While in practice many of the considerations central to the needs of addressing a health issue in a population will not be so straightforward, your practical application of the concepts as they relate to health education will help prepare you for your current or future role as a health educator.
