Tenth+Grade+Procedure

Heart Health Procedure Sheet Thank you for helping with this study. It is anticipated that in addition to helping students learn healthy heart behaviors, you will also gain valuable knowledge on how to have a healthier heart. All of your responses on the questionnaire and blog posts will remain completely anonymous from the students. Here is how the study works: Log on to the private blog once daily using your imaginary name. You will blog about your daily activities including, but not limited to, your diet, exercise, habits or family health history. __Please do not alter your regular routines during this first week. This portion of the project is an attempt to learn about your normal routines.__ During the first week while you blog your routines, students will be conducting research to learn about the various factors that affect heart health.
 * Week 1:** You will visit the health center to fill out the survey (with your imaginary name), and have your blood pressure and target heart rate recovery time checked by the doctor.

Students will also read the survey you filled out to gain more knowledge of your heart health.
 * Week 2:** Students will continue their research during this week and will also read the first blog to learn about your daily activities, nutritional habits, etc.

Once the students make their recommendations, either the district health coach or one of the health center doctors will read the posts to ensure the student recommendations are sound advice. In addition, the health professionals will have the opportunity to add to the commentary or make their own suggestions.
 * Week 3:** Students will compile the survey and blog information. Using the information learned in their research, students will analyze their area of expertise as it relates to your situation. Students will blog suggested resources to help you achieve your heart health goals. Students resources could include, but are not limited to, web addresses, books and article titles available to you for reference as follow up. For each resource students provide you, they will include a brief summary with the reason why the students think it is a good resource for your personal situation.


 * __Please do not follow the advice in the student blog post resources until after the health professional has reviewed and approved the resources given by the students.__**


 * Week 4:** Please log in to the private blog once each day to describe your reaction to any of the changes you have made in your diet, exercise routine or other habits. For you last post, please blog about your reaction to the study.

//**Thank you**// so much for your help with this project. You will provide valuable information that will not only help our students but also to improve your overall heart health!
