Assignment Task 1: Family health history Create your family health history according to the instructions you were given earlier in this lesson. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to obtain a family health history for yourself, complete this activity using the family health history of someone you know. This option should only be chosen if your own family health history is unavailable. For the purposes of this assignment, as long as you include information from three generations, you need to collect information from only seven family members.
Assignment Task 2: Identify a hereditary risk factor Identify at least one personal hereditary risk factor from health or disease patterns you see in your family history.
Assignment Task 3: Identify strategies Identify three strategies you can apply to reduce your risk or that of current or future children you might have. Use very specific examples, such as exercise, community health services, stress reduction, genetic counselling, and so on.
