"You play, we pay?" A Matter of Personal Choice

Utah and Nevada, which lie side by side in the west, are similar in climate, levels of income, level of health care delivery, and many other aspects. Yet Utah residents are reported to be among the healthiest in the United States and Nevada residents among the least healthy. At least on the surface, this difference appears to result as a function of a lifestyle choice. Utah is inhabited primarily by the Mormons, who, by religious doctrine, avoid alcohol, Cigarette, and illicit drug use and often live in large, stable families. Alcohol and cigarette consumption are higher in Nevada, and family structure there appears less stable.

Questions

1. In regard to health care benefits, should individuals be made responsible for lifestyle choices? For example, would you favor a risk analysis component for health insurance deductibles? A person who is a heavy smoker or drinker or a divorced adult would pay higher premiums or deductibles in the same way that those with poor driving records pay higher auto insurance rates.
2. What prohibitions would you consider putting in place to curb alcohol, cigarettes, and drug use?
3. What incentives might be considered to promote stable families, as this seems to have a positive impact on health care costs?

Sam is a health educator who works with international populations to increase awareness for safe sexual practices among adolescent age groups in two foreign countries. Sam is not able to travel to these respective sites and instead, will rely upon technology to deliver the health education program. Both populations are served by health education centers that have facilities available for teleconferencing as well as videoconferencing to allow Sam to engage with the target audience. Furthermore, at each respective site, there is a health education coordinator who is responsible for maintaining group webpages for sources of information. Sam can upload relevant program materials to these webpages and the audiences can access the materials for participation.

Sam is aware that most program participants do not have viable technology equipment at home and are fully dependent on the health education center for access to program materials. In an effort to serve individual participants more personally and specifically, Sam would like to institute a revised strategy. In her proposal, the health education coordinator would visit the homes of the member participants to conduct short interviews with their parents. In fulfilling this element of the program, Sam is considering using a tablet with an integrated camera. The health education coordinator will then enable video chat features to conduct the interviews with participants in their home.

What considerations should Sam keep in mind when utilizing various forms of technology tools for the practice of health education?

For this Discussion, consider the types of technology tools that you are familiar with and that you might be able to incorporate into a health education program. For example, if you use a smart phone/mobile phone, consider how sending health education content via text messages may be an effective way to reach a certain population. Consider social networking sites that you might use in the delivery of health education. Reflect on how these types of technology tools may hinder health education delivery if working with an underserved population.
