Title: HAND BOOK OF FOCUS HEALTH EDUCATION FOR PREVENTION OF DISEASES AND HEALTH RELATED CONDITIONS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES (students guide)
Description: INTRODUCTION
The disappointing lack of success in curing disease  had, nonetheless, been accompanied by both increasing lay expectations of medicine and by dramatically escalating cost. Therefore; what might not be cured should be prevented. 
Since human behaviour is intimately implicated in the aetiology and management of preventable disease, prevention could be achieved by the deployment of appropriate behaviour change strategies through education in order to persuade people to adopt lifestyles and behaviours that would prevent and simultaneously save money especially in the rural community. 
In recognition of the above strategy and benefits, the National standing orders (2015) edition stated it clearly that "every opportunity must be taken to health educate the client/patient in primary health care setting after management with the standing orders.
This book provide key messages in areas such as breastfeeding, family planning, importance of compliance to treatment, importance of keeping to clinical appointments, discouraging of harmful practice, etc., which clients/patients need in a way it doesn't offend their culture, and personal values. However the effectiveness of this messages is helped by the health care provider's attitude, ability to create rapport and making of personal values, culture less tacit and more explicit. The first 3 chapters explores, how to read and learn as a health sciences student, pre-clinical guidelines before your professional examination, and a suggested criteria for practical examination assessment respectively. Then followed by donning of PPEs, and key health educations topics relevant for health educating your client during practicals using the standing orders. It is hoped that, this material will help you!
