Module 3 Assignment 1
ASSESSING PERSONAL BIAS
Bias is a result of our environment and background. We often make quick judgments about people without even knowing it. Bias can affect our attitudes and behaviors towards others. If we work in health education, bias can negatively impact the way we treat our patients. The first step in changing bias is to accept that you have it.
The next step is to assess your own personal biases so you can begin to improve those areas. Please note while assessing your unconscious bias, there may be some sensitive topics within this activity.

ASSESSING CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Being a culturally competent health educator can help reduce the health equity gap many racial and ethical minorities feel when receiving care. Many health education messages are not culturally competent resulting in a cyclic effect of health disparities. If health educators can improve their personal cultural competence, they can be better prepared to tailor health messages and assist vulnerable populations in making healthier decisions and improving health equity leading to healthier outcomes.

Module 6 Assignment
FINAL PROJECT
Each day the public is exposed to many different forms of health communication. Health communications and the health information within may come in the form of factsheets, brochures, or websites. To be an effective health communication tool, it is important that the information in such materials is correct and presented in an appropriate form that addresses issues related to health literacy, culture, and age. Health communications, regardless of what form they take, should also be visually appealing.
In constructing effective health messages, certain criteria should be incorporated when developing various forms of health communication. Consider for example that in most community settings, all written health information should be provided in fonts that are easy to read and are written at a fifth-grade level.
As a health educator, you may need to develop different types of health messages that incorporate considerations for effective health communication.
These criteria include:
Accuracy: The content is valid and without errors.
Availability: The content is delivered or placed where the target population can access it readily.
Cultural Competence: The information is inclusive of various ethnic, racial, linguistic, and educational levels and disability considerations.
Evidence Base: The information is based on a comprehensive review of the scientific literature including data and best practices.
Reach: The content is in a form that is available to the largest possible number of people in the target population.
Reliability: The source of the content is credible and the content itself is kept up to date.
Repetition: The delivery of and access to the content is continually repeated over time.
Timeliness: The content is available when the audience is most receptive to, or in need of, the specific information.
The Final assignment will cover the concepts learned about health communication throughout this course. It will include two parts. The first is a written part and the second is a health communication message.
Note:?In grading every required Assignment, your Instructor uses an Assignment Rubric. Review the Rubric prior to completing your Assignment.
