Blog 16: 2- Hour Meeting Answer #2

1) What is the best way to promote disease prevention in youth in family medicine.
2) The second answer to my essential question is that teachers need to be educated on the different types of diseases so that they can then incorporate what they have learned into the curriculum. 
3) Three details to justify my second answer

• Each state needs to pass a law and policies on STD education, in order to allow teachers to teach youth about this topic. 
• Each state should come up with a training program to help educate teachers on the HIV and STDs. This will allow the teachers to inform the youth with accurate information in regards to the diseases. 
• Schools have direct contact with more than 56 million students daily, for at least 6 hours a day. For about thirteen critical years of their social, physical and intellectual development. 

4) The CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health helped me prove my second answer. 

5) I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by researching more programs that incorporate this method into their schools curriculum.
