Use this focused rubric and the resources below to develop your site
- High-risk behaviors and negative lifestyle choices: rates of opioid misuse in U.S. college students. What about the typical lifestyles of college students can encourage opioid misuse and addiction?
- Short- and long-term health effects: discuss the health effects and risks of misuse and addiction of opioids. Include signs of overdose and withdrawal syndrome information.
- Symptoms and/or indicators, and tests/diagnoses for a person that may be on the negative end of the wellness spectrum: detail indicators that opioid misuse is present in a person’s life. Do not confuse with the health effects of opioid misuse. How would a person be diagnosed with opioid use disorder?
- Optimal lifestyle choices for prevention, and how to seek treatment when needed: how can U.S. college students improve their habits identified in rubric item number one if they wanted to prevent opioid use disorder? Identify different treatment types, as well as types of qualified professionals if additional help/treatment is needed.
- Globalized content is included: and do not forget to copy and paste the following focus points/questions into your site. Compare our opioid use rates and risk factors in the U.S. to your assigned country. Compare that country’s intervention methods to ours. Can you find any policies or interventions in your assigned country that may benefit the U.S.? Please avoid excessive use of opinion without research.
- Information is adapted to the college-aged population (15-24 years of age): make this as consistent as possible, especially when discussing risky behaviors and prevention. Some information you will only be able to find as it applies to the general adult population.
- Credible sources referenced and cited in-text: for all information, including infographics and videos used.
- Site uses concise and easily understood information, as well as a variety of images, infographics, and/or videos: think of what you like to see when you look up health information. Make your page easily navigable, and sections of information clearly identified. Avoid text that is too small to read, and be sure your images are not blurry or cropped too much.
