Question

Case Study: You are a community educator for a large health care system. You are preparing a series of two classes on smoking cessation that will be followed by a support group for people who want to quit smoking. a) What resources might you use to help you with the content of the course?

Answer 1

As a community educator, approach the people who want to quit smoking. Prepare materials such as posters, A. V aids etc which has the content related to hazards of health due to smoking.

Effective health education is an eye opener to quit smoking. When we use materials like A. V aids it will be more interactive and will break the monotonous way of giving advice directly.

We can approach the person's who already quit smoking to share their stories and ways this in turn will motivate the people who wants to quit.

Simple pamphlets and leaflets has to be created in an easily understandable language explaining the hazardous effects of smoking.

To engage with the people we can create simple tasks like roleplay, monoact or a simple puppet show to educate the awareness.

These are the resources which will help us to create a content for health education and approach people to quit smoking.
