UNDERSTANDING HEALTH RISKS

Risk Behaviors- Actions that can potentially threaten your health or the health of others.

Becoming responsible for your own

health has two steps.1. Take responsibility for your own

behaviors.2. Examine your behaviors and make

necessary changes.

RECOGNIZING RISK BEHAVIORS Behaviors that result in unintentional

and intentional injuries include;1. Tobacco Use2. Alcohol and Other Drugs3. Sexual Behaviors4. Unhealthy Dietary Behaviors5. Physical Inactivity

CUMULATIVE RISK Cumulative Risk- Related risk that increases

in effect with each added risk. Example 1: Getting a sunburn then going back out

into the sun. (Skin Cancer)

Example 2: Smoking and eating a high fat diet. (Heart Disease)

Cumulative Risk – Combination of risks increases chance of negative results. Example 1: Teen Driver (Risk 1) drank alcohol (Risk

2) before driving. Example 2: Speeding (Risk 1) while not wearing a

seat belt (Risk 2) while driving in bad weather (Risk 3).

ABSTINENCE What does it mean to Abstain?

To refrain from something by one’s own choice

Restrain oneself from doing somethingAvoidDeclineBy-passGive-upRefuse

Abstinence- Avoiding harmful behaviors including alcohol, tobacco, sexual activity, etc.

DECISION MAKING SKILLS Decision Making Skills - These skills are used to make

proper and responsible decisions that will protect your rights and health while respecting the rights and health of others.

Advice from those with more experience and who you respect can also help in making proper choices.

Write down 3 people you can get advice from who fit the criteria above?

6 STEPS FOR MAKING A RESPONSIBLE DECISION1. State the Situation2. List the Options3. Weigh the Possible Outcomes4. Consider Values5. Make a Decision and Act on it6. Evaluate the Decision

STEP 1 : STATE THE SITUATION Examine situation and ask yourself,

“what decisions need to be made?” Consider all information and people

involved

STEP 2 : LIST OPTIONS List possible decisions or choices Share options with those you trust Don’t be afraid to ask for advice

STEP 3 : WEIGH POSSIBLE OUTCOMES The acronym HELP can

guide your choice; Healthful – Is there a

health risk to this choice?

Ethical – Does this choice reflect my values?

Legal – Does this choice violate any laws?

Parental Approval – Would my parents approve of this choice?

Spilled Water Example H- Am I putting anyone

at a health risk by leaving this water here?

E- Would I want someone to leave spilled water out?

L- Am I breaking any laws? Am I breaking any house/school rules?

P- Will my parents be upset if they see this spilled water sitting here?

STEP 4 : CONSIDER VALUES Values- beliefs, attitudes, and ideas.

Responsible decisions will reflect values. Decisions that don’t reflect values can

result in feelings of anxiety or stress.

STEP 5 : MAKE DECISION AND ACT ON IT When the appropriate steps have been

taken to make a responsible decision, you can have confidence and feel good about the decision.

Make the decision and move forward

STEP 6 : EVALUATE THE DECISION Reflect on what happened after the

decision was made What did you learn? Would you make the same decision? If not, what would you change?

GOAL SETTING Goal-Something you aim for that takes

planning and work. Two types of goals

Short Term Goals-Goal that can be reached in a short amount of time. (1 day to a couple weeks)

Long Term Goals -Goal that can be reached in an extended period of time. (A couple months to a year or longer)

SMART GOALS Action Plan-Multistep strategy to

identify and achieve your goals.

SMART GOALSSpecific

MeasurableAttainableRealisticTimely

GOAL SETTING!!!Pick 1 goal that you have a desire to fulfill.

Pick a goal in an area in your life where you struggle. Think back to your Health Triangle!

As we go through the next few slides, keep your goal in mind.

SPECIFIC Clearly defines what you are going to do Identifies the What, Why and How

What you are going to do? Use action words such as direct, coordinate, organize, lead, develop, etc.

Why you are going to accomplish this goal? How are you going to do it? (By……)

Example:I want to be more fit so I am able to ride my

mountain bike up Puke Hill and will do this by doing cardiovascular exercise (bike or run) at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes.

MEASURABLE If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Example: “I want to read 3 books of 100+

pages before my birthday” shows a specific target to be measured. A goal of “I want to be a good reader” is not measureable.

Establish concrete criteria for measuring a goal. Achievement energizes effort.

Example:I will be able to ride my mountain bike up

Puke Hill without getting off my bike or stopping to rest.

ATTAINABLE Goals that are out of reach will be

difficult to commit to. A goal needs to stretch you slightly

while maintaining achievability. The feeling of success helps to maintain

motivation.

Example:I can ride up the trail in the lowest gear

because the trail is smooth.

REALISTIC Realistic means that it is “DO-ABLE”. A goal to swim the English Channel may

not be realistic if you have no way or plans to travel to England.

All the tools needed to achieve the goal must be available.

Example:I have ridden by bike half way up Puke Hill

without stopping already.

TIMELY Set a time frame for the goal. Putting an end point gives you a clear

target for achievement. If you don’t set time, the commitment is

to vague. Time also creates urgency. Time must also be measureable,

attainable and realistic.

Example: I will do this before October 31st, 2013.
