Academic institutions can take a more active role in disease prevention for women by creating more awareness programs. The different departments within the school, especially health sciences and nursing, can create opportunities for students by getting them involved in implementing the programs. Gaining awareness to the female students is essential in preventing diseases. Creating activities specifically for females on campus can create an opportunity to gain insight to perceived needs and actual needs among females within the academic institution. College women may not view themselves as potentially getting a disease unless they are educated with facts about specific diseases and their risk factor for contracting the disease.
Finally, academic institutions should include these programs on their websites in order to reach more students, specifically distance education students.

Silver,
ReplyDeleteI believe that your idea to include distance education students on programs about diseases in women is a great idea! I do believe also if academic institutions implement more programs about these diseases that the female students will take interest in them. I would definitely be interested!
Silver,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea about educating women in the college setting. I would also like to see it in high school as well. Maybe in their senior year. During that time they are more likely to pay attention because they are excited about becoming "adults."
