So What? Why Theories and Models Matter

Think back in time, before you decided to enter the public health field. Recall a health issue encountered by you or someone you know personally, such as immunizations, bullying, or lice outbreaks.

• Briefly describe how you or someone else dealt with the issue.
• Find a theory or a model related to the issue you chose and discuss how it expands your thinking about the issue:
  • Discuss new information found through your research.
  • Use APA style and format to cite any sources.
