Objective: To identify a health problem that needs to be changed or improved, and that will be the focus for student research.
"We are about to decide, as a group, what the topic for research will be. It is important for everyone to participate in this activity so they can have a say in the project, which the group will be working on for the remainder of its time together. "
REVIEW FOR FACILITATORS
As students negotiate over choosing a focus issue, it may be helpful to review health topics to broaden and deepen their knowledge. See Exploring Health Topics for worksheets and lesson plans to guide youth through health topic research.
