Problem
I. Discuss the topic of nutrition and the college student. What are the nutritional needs of college students versus other populations? What obstacles do college students face in meeting their nutritional needs? What are some ways of overcoming those obstacles?
II. The topic of alcohol and other drug use is a relevant one for most college students. Discuss the trends in the use of mind-altering substances with this population. What are some of the influences that increase health-risk behaviors in college students? What are some suggestions for the modification of binge drinking behavior, with the expectation of reducing alcohol poisoning deaths?
III. Heart disease and cancer are the top causes of death among American adults. What are the major risk factors for each of these diseases? Is there anything college students can do when they are young to reduce their risk for heart disease and/or cancer? How would you get people in your age group to become aware of the link between lifestyle choices and incidence of chronic diseases?
