Discuss women’s health from a historical, cultural, political, social, economic, physical, mental,
and personal perspective. For each of the eight aforementioned areas, you should create a sub
section with at least two examples from the course textbook, our in-class discussions, or the
wellness assessments to support your ideas within that sub section. Indicate why each example
you provide is meaningful to you, as you have examined women’s health throughout the
semester. Also indicated how your own cultural biases, belief, and values influence the
examples you’ve selected. Be sure to use APA style in-text citations in the body of your paper
and cite your sources in a References section at the end of the paper. (5 points for each of the
eight sections – historical, cultural, political, social, economic, physical, mental, and personal).
Discuss the behavior you identified earlier this semester that you need to change to improve
your current health. Explain why changing this particular behavior is a priority by using the
assessment information you obtained through our course assignments. Also, answer the
following questions in your discussion:
1. What has your experience been like as you take steps to achieve this particular goal?
2. If reaching this goal is proving to be a challenge, discuss how this feels and how you plan
to move forward.
3. Have you attempted to change this behavior in the past without success? If so, what did
you try to do differently this time? Did it work? Explain. 4. What are some barriers you might face if you attempted to change this behavior outside
of your own culture?
5. How might changing this behavior affect other women or people around you?
Find at least TWO credible articles (from a website, organization, and/or peer-reviewed journal)
that discuss changing the behavior you have identified. See handouts on credible sources on
the college library page.
• You should select two articles from different sources.
• Summarize each article separately with facts that support changing the behavior.
Include any statistics, tips, or strategies from the article about the health benefits of
changing this behavior.
• Be sure you cite your sources in a reference section at the end of this assignment. All
citations must be in APA format. Visit the library website and select Citing Sources for
more information on APA format.

Discuss what is next in your personal wellness journey and how has this course helped you in
determining what your next steps should be. List at least five action steps you will take to
change the identified behavior. Present your action steps clearly and concisely. Remember that
action steps are not things you will avoid, limit, or stop doing to support your behavior
change. Action steps are things you plan to do and they are specific in the behavior change
process.
