Course Description Personal health courses have traditionally focused almost exclusively on the individual's responsibility. This responsibility addressed primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention objectives. Although disease prevention is a vital component, personal health courses need to be expanded to include wellness objectives. But a focus on the individual and self-responsibility would account for only half of the wellness concept.
Individuals function and adapt within a social context.
Therefore, this course also includes the social and cultural factors that impact health and wellness.
