    • Prevention of drug and alcohol use
    • Intentional and unintentional injuries
    • HIV/AIDS/sexually transmitted infections
    • Unintentional pregnancies

    The course is presented in nine parts. In each, students will:

    • Be introduced to a health topic (accessing information about various health topics)
    • Complete assignments
