In class we learned
that public health involves both health promotion and disease
prevention, which is what this event is being held to help with. This
event will spread knowledge of the issue and prevention of it, as
well as solutions for individuals who have HIV/AIDS. This topic of
health promotion and disease prevention interests me because I know
how events can impact others who are in need of better health. My
aunt had ALS and going to walks to raise money to fund research for
the disease. Also going to these walks allow many to join together
who are dealing with similar issues, and being around others assists
in promoting a healthier life. Considering my topic of interest is
public health, it is vital to public health and the two factors
involved with the topic. Public health can be found all over the
world, but being able to recognize the multiple forms will allow for
public health to spread even more that will improve quality of life
everywhere. I wonder if there are other forms that I may not even be
aware of and let slip away. This is why this campaign of defining
what exactly is public health is a great step forward for many in
understanding its full definition.
