Leon University Magining a Culture of Health Video Analysis To prepare:

Review this week’s Resources.
Review pages 319 and 394 in Nash, Fabius, Skoufalos, Clarke, and Horowitz (2016).
Review the video, Imagining a Culture of Health, and consider the value of health risk assessments as a tool to implement a culture of wellness.
Complete the Rand Health (2018) survey, “36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36).”
Review the list of four individual health risk assessments and appraisals in this week’s Resources and select one to complete for your individual assessment.

The Assignment (surveys and 1-page summary):: Individual Assessment

Complete the individual risk assessment survey you selected. Then, write a 1- to 2-paragraph summary of your individual assessment report. What did you discover from using the health risk assessment? Critique this health risk assessment’s usefulness to you and its convenience as a screening tool. Explain whether this health risk assessment would be a valuable tool for health promotion initiatives. Your Results
Here’s a snapshot of all your risk factors. Keep in mind that having a risk factor doesn’t
mean you will necessarily develop cancer. But knowing the whole picture will help you
and your healthcare provider determine the best screening plan for you.
As you read through your results, feel good about the things you’re doing well, knowing
you’re taking good care of your health and decreasing your risk of cancer. Some
things—like your health history or family history—you have no control over. But for any
lifestyle factors that are increasing your risk, this may be a great time to think about
making some positive changes. It’s never too late.
Print this page to keep as a record for yourself, or even take it with you to your next
check-up with your healthcare provider. Remember, you won’t have results for any
questions you may have skipped.

At this age, you don’t need to be screened for breast or colorectal cancer yet, unless
you have other factors that put you at higher risk. Talk to your healthcare provider about
what’s right for you.
