Selecting a health context

Is there a context that you may have some links to? Perhaps a grandparent is diabetic? Someone you know of smokes and is needing to quit but hasnt been able to find a treatment that can support them better? Maybe mental health has become more of a significant and important aspect of your life since the COVID-19 pandemic started? Choose a context that you have interest in and not one that you think is easier. If you have interest then you will do better because you will want to learn more without actively trying to push yourself to learn more. It becomes something you find yourself looking into instead of scrolling through social media wasting 30 minutes of your time. 

Candidates must relate the health practices to an identified health circumstance. The health circumstance may be existing, or one which could be prevented. Health circumstances include:  

a mental illness e.g. major or chronic depression  

an addiction e.g. smoking  

a physical illness or disease e.g. cancer, diabetes  

pain management e.g. back pain, arthritis,

reproductive health e.g. birth, (in)fertility.
