- Instructions:
- This 2-page paper will give you an opportunity to think about a health issue either you or a friend/family member may be experiencing or that is of personal interest to you. You will brainstorm factors (using the ecological model) that influence your or your friend/family member’s experience of this health issue. Although much of this paper will give you an opportunity to use your own voice and delve deeper into possible contributing factors (things that make the problem worse) and protective factors (things that lessen the problem), you should also integrate three references (1 scholarly, 2 popular) to help you relate your own experiences to research that has been conducted. Are findings from research consistent with your own experience? Why/why not?
