Read the following case study and respond to the following questions below: Kim has recently graduated from a prestigious health education program at a Mid-western University in the United States. While she was pursuing her degree, she was an active member of Eta Sigma Gamma (the honorary health education society) and organized and participated in several of its activities throughout her years as a student. Some of the salient activities she was instrumental in organizing were an annual health fair for students at her university, free condom distribution at the student wellness center, participation in American Heart Walk organized by American Heart Association, and many other such activities. She has recently been hired by a local health department in her state as a health education specialist under a Block grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for promoting heart health. Her supervisor has asked her to undertake some health education activities in her County. In her first quarter, she organized health awareness fairs at different community centers in which she distributed flyers on smoking cessation, weight management, physical activity, need for blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, and other such topics. She has submitted her report on the number of participants who attended these fairs to the CDC for the first quarter, but they were not pleased with her activities. She is wondering why that is the case although she worked so hard. Questions: Why do you think CDC is not pleased with Kim’s activities? What is the primary purpose of health education for promoting heart health in a community? What are the advantages and disadvantages of organizing health fairs and distributing flyers? Can the distribution of flyers lead to health behavior change? Why or why not? What would be the benefits of an evidence-based (theory-based) approach in augmenting Kim’s efforts? What evidence-based (theory-based) approach can Kim utilize to improve her efforts? Cite at least two different peer-reviewed journal articles within the body as references AND provide both links.
