Examples of behaviors or diseases might include but are not limited to smoking, heart disease, high blood pressure. Examples of patient education tools might include but are not limited to brochures, Powerpoint presentation, etc. You will choose one topic (health behavior/disease) and use as many education types as you choose. The goal is to provide excellent patient education and have compliance from your audience. Consider how the audience will understand your educational materials and if they will be able to implement the change presented to them.
