Product Description

This course (12 contact hours) is developed by the Rocky Mountain Public Health Education Consortium (RMPHEC). About This Course • This course provides a broad overview of adolescent health and draws upon the work of numerous organizations. Many resources have been used, especially, those prepared by the National Adolescent Health Information Center, the Konopka Institute for Best Practices in Adolescent Health, and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs. • There are five chapters in this module. Each chapter is designed to stand-alone as it addresses a discrete subject related to adolescent health. However, it is suggested that you progress through the chapters sequentially, as each chapter builds upon the previous one. • Each chapter has between one and four sections. Typically the time to complete the reading and activities in each section is equivalent to one hour of continuing education. • Quizzes and evaluations are associated with each chapter. A final evaluation is available at the end of every module. • Participants must pass module quizzes with a 70% or better grade in order to print the module completion confirmation and mail it in to receive CEU's. • The "teen tips" are advice received from the Youth Partnership for Health, a diverse group of Colorado teens. We asked them what would they like public health professionals to know about youth, and the tips are their answers.
