"Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) provides a comprehensive set of 10-year, national goals and objectives for improving the health of all Americans" ("Healthy People 2020", 2015, p. 2). It monitors and evaluates whether the goals of improving health indicators are met or getting worse. Community health problems should be analyzed in order to comprehend and effectively resolve the problem ("Analyzing Community Problems", 2015). Levels of prevention are phases wherein healthcare professionals can intervene in the health of individuals and communities. Primary prevention involves seeking ways to prevent a person from having a disease they can be prone to.
Healthy People is an organization that identifies the Nation’s health improvement priorities. Established for more than 30 years, Healthy People is a recognized science-based national health objective that focuses on monitoring progress, motivating action, and the guiding efforts to improve health across the country (Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2011). Also, Healthy People 2020 locates nearly 1,200 objectives in the preparation of 42 topic areas of which each represents an important public health area. Consequently, the aims of Healthy People 2020 Progress Reviews are to provide health officials and the public with information on the current status of the objectives within each of the Healthy People 2020 topic areas. Therefore, the health officials include the Assistant Secretary for Health, senior Health and Human Services (HHS) officials and Healthy People 2020 stakeholders (Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

School programs, Employer programs, and College programs could help to inform residents of ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Employer programs that provide employees health insurance would see a reduction of health insurance costs from reduced healthcare cost. Employee programs could offer employee incentives to get healthy and achieve goals. College programs and local school programs could do more to provide education on how to live a healthy lifestyle and the effects that unhealthy diets are having in the United States. A major community change in healthy eating would have a major effect on the cost of healthcare, insurance premiums, and life expectancy.
I strongly value my health and believe that health is our greatest form of wealth. When one lives a healthy lifestyle, it means more opportunities to explore the world, build families, achieving anything the heart desires and conquering personal goals. The behavior change philosophy fits my personal philosophy of health education the most because it involves goal setting, behavioral contracts and self-monitoring to help foster the modification of an unhealthy habit. The behavior change philosophy is very important because change is a process, not an event. Self-efficacy and motivation are key factors in successful behavior changes.

This photograph displays two signs advertising practices that improve physical health posted at the Ayala Science Library. These signs depict the dimension of physical health because they are encouraging lifestyle changes, which help avoid future health problems (p.11). By advocating for taking the stairs and not smoking, our school is trying to improve the cardiovascular health, a large component of physical health (p.12). Unfortunately, the need for UC Irvine to actively promote these practices might indicate that our campus community is not innately advancing their physical health.

Introduction Mental imagery, also known as visualization, is defined as imagining oneself performing an action in the absence of physical practice (4). European psychologists were the first people to emphasize imagery practice, specifically Freud who was known to be advocating for imagery since before 1900 and into the early 1900’s. There was a huge decline in the use of mental imagery until the 1960’s when the psychologist Maxwell Maltz did extensive work with imagery and resurfaced the interest in it. From the 1960’s on mental imagery has been a major topic of research for psychologists and more recently professionals in the medical field (17).
Thus, stressors affecting students can be categorized as academic, financial, time or health related, and self- imposed (Goodman, 1993). Academic stressors include the student’s perception of the extensive knowledge base required and the perception of an inadequate time to develop it ((Carveth et al, 1996). Students report experiencing academic stress at predictable times each semester with the greatest sources of academic stress resulting from taking and studying for exams, grade competition, andthe large amount of content to master in a small amount of time (Abouserie, 1994). College students have many obstacles to overcome in order to achieve their optimal academic performance. It takes a lot more than just studying to achieve a successful college career.
