Increasing Awareness of Nutrition Concerns of Blacks and African-Americans

This sharable learning object was developed as an example of an on-line learning experience that could be delivered either entirely on-line or as a supplemental on-line component of a larger course. It was designed to prepare pre-health professional students in understanding concepts of nutrition with special emphasis placed on the impact of lipids on the health of Blacks and African-Americans. While the audience may be any pre-health professional student, this content was specially developed for students at an Ohio Historically Black College and University (HBCU). With a national health goal to eliminate disparities in health care and the need to increase diversity in the health care workforce, the experiences in this lesson plan can enhance the understanding of a major health disparity in the U.S. It includes 7 activities that students can do on-line.
