Community Health Education Principles and History Instructions

1. What new information did you learn about community health education?
On exploring the community health education, it has been realized that the preparation of
the leaders needs to address the contemporary health care issues, epidemics and health
disparities which might include diabetes, violence, sexually transmitted diseases, obesity,
etc. The concerned education provides a link between the two vital aspects which
includes the relation between health and academic achievements (Greenhalgh et al.
2016). The link between the two aspects has been a new information for me as this
reveals that the academic and health achievements could be aligned in a specific way so
that it adds on to the productivity of the society.
2. What misconceptions were uncovered as a result of the quiz?
Earlier it was considered that the link between the two aspects that is health and academic
achievements, could be of such significant for the society was not known. The
enhancement of the academic achievements or the increase in the academic achievements
would act as a source for the health care and thus, the enhancement of the academics
would be beneficial for the health care (Glatz et al. 2017).
3. What questions remain about community health education?
The exploration has provided with some new and specific information which has added
on to my knowledge. But there remains a query on how and through which process the
academic achievements could be enhanced (Elkjær et al. 2018). There exist another
consideration that what is the score of the academic achievements that gets channelized to
the health care.
