Week 1 : Your Health Campaign Project (HPC) for this class is the built each week as you complete each component  The project will result in the design of a health promotion campaign.  You will not actually do the campaign.  You wiil be doing the background work that would be necessary fo designing a campaign.  Begin thinking about what health behavior you would like to educate others on, what behavior might be important to you, your family, friends or your community, and determine your target population of interest.  As you complete each weeks assignment you add it to the same Word file.  There should be a title page in the file and then each week’s topic will be added under the title for the assignment,  I will edit the work and give feedback and then you update your main file after grading.  If you do this then you will not need to do more work at the end of the project.
