Students will write a 3–4-page paper (term project) reflecting on how they can incorporate what they are learning from this course into advising people to improve their health and wellness. Each student will describe a real or an imaginary person with one major unhealthy lifestyle choice (for example either sedentary, or stressed, or with unhealthy eating or sleeping habits) and will describe the stages of developing a lifestyle intervention to help this patient (see the Case Studies in Chapters 13 and 14 of the Textbook for the stages of developing a lifestyle intervention). The paper should include:
1) one section on describing the patient and their unhealthy lifestyle choice (~1/2 page),
2) one section on assessment for the specific unhealthy lifestyle choice (~1 page),
3) one section on background on the specific unhealthy lifestyle choice (~1page), and
4) one section on management (~1-2 pages).
The term project should include at least 3 recent (past 3 years) citations (references). The citations should be published in scientific journals (no Wikipedia or Facebook) and should be either original publications or reviews.
Students need to submit their paper electronically as a Word document using Canvas Assignments. Papers should be double-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font with 1” margins. The students name should be left-aligned as the header. Referenced articles should be listed on a reference page at the end of the paper in APA format. The grading rubric and a word document template are available on Canvas. Turnitin will be used to check for plagiarism.
