1. Lesson 3 PCH
9.PCH.1 Analyze wellness, disease prevention, and recognition of symptoms 9.PCH1.3 Explain the procedures for health screenings, check ups, and other early detection measures in terms of their health-related benefits

2. Statement of Objectives
In healthful living education, we have studied various health risks. Usually we focus on the primary prevention of risks. That is, what we do in the first place to keep from becoming ill or injured.
Secondary control is early detection and that practice will be the basis of today’s lesson.
By the end of the class, we will know the importance of medical examinations and self-examination to detect conditions early and improve effectiveness of intervention.
