| Self-Care for Better US Health Care |
| How many Americans can handle common health situations or know when to see a doctor? Everyone should know this vital information. Self-care enhances personal health knowledge and reduces inappropriate health care utilization. Participants will learn about the Self-Care Peer Educator Project and how to train others to become self-care educators in school/community settings. Guidelines to plan, implement, and evaluate a self-care program will be provided. Self-Care Educators are part of the US health care solution.
