Assignment: School Health and STDS (2-part).

PART 1

Design a PowerPoint presentation with at least 12 content slides (in addition to a title slide and reference slide) and include at least two scholarly sources other than provided materials for high school aged students discussing normative aging changes, sexuality, STDs, and prevention. 

  • Discuss normal body changes that occur through puberty into young adulthood

  • Discuss specific STDs, causes, symptoms, complications, and treatment:             

  • You should include a slide or two for each of the following:  Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes, HIV, Syphilis, HPV.  

  • Discuss pregnancy and prevention

Remember that acronyms such as STD have to be spelled out every time used in titles/headings or as first word of a sentence. Note also that acronyms have to be spelled out the first time used in text so that the reader understands what the acronym letters (such as STD) stand for.

PART 2

Write a paper of at least 500 -600 words in APA format and citation.

Investigate how school health is delivered within your local school system. You can look at one specific school, or an entire school district. Do the schools in your area have a school health nurse assigned? If not, how are health care needs within the school district managed? What are ways in your area schools in which health promotion and management of existing health problems are addressed?
