Number of Sessions: 10CONTENT STANDARDS PERFORMANCE STANDARDSThe learner understands the The learner demonstrates critical thinkingguidelines and criteria in the selection and decision-making skills in the selection,and evaluation of health information, evaluation, and utilization of healthproducts, and services. information, products, and services.I. IntroductionDEPED COPY Where did you last spend your money? What item did you buy? Why? What kind of service did you last avail? Who recently shared with you a new health information? These are only a few of the things that concern you as adolescents. Decision- making is an important skill that you must learn in order to live a healthy and normal life. This module will help you understand the basics of consumer health. Consumerhealth aims to develop a person’s ability to evaluate and utilize health information,products, and services wisely and effectively. All of us are consumers. We acquire health information, purchase healthproducts, and avail of health services to appraise, improve, and maintain our health.Health information is any idea that we hear from people around us, read from booksand other printed materials, or from the media that influence our health. Healthproducts are items that we consume to improve our well-being, like medicine, food,clothes, furniture, electronics, etc. Health services are programs we avail from variousproviders such as physicians, nurses, therapists, health workers, hospitals, clinics, andthe government. Some examples of these health services are insurance, treatmentand cure, complementary and alternative medicine. In this light, we must all be educated consumers who make wise selection ofinformation, products, and services that are scientifically proven and legally approved.It is our duty to evaluate and examine the reliability of the sources. Let us find out how we can be educated in consumer health. 198 All rights reserved.

Write a one-paragraph reflection about the discussion. Consumer health has three components: health information, health products, and health services. What you have gathered from your classmates is health information. Health information plays a big role in the life of individuals. “It is information that people require to make wise choices and decisions about their health or the health of [other people]” (Galvez Tan, et al., 2009). 201 All rights reserved. No part of this material may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means -electronic or mechanical including photocopying – without written permission from the DepEd Central Office. First Edition, 2015.

DEPED COPY Health information is any concept, step, or advice that various sources giveto aid the health status of an individual. The type of information varies dependingon “diseases, sexual health, weight loss/gain, drugs and alcohol, depression/mentalillness, violence, smoking, eating disorders, acne/skin care, local clinics, and sexualassault” (Payne, et al., 2005). The information is critical as it may alter the healthconditions of a person. Another important characteristic of health information is thatit is continuously and rapidly changing. Thus, it “should be timely, relevant, culturallyappropriate, accessible, and delivered in a relevant format” (Galvez Tan, et al., 2009).There is a great need to update oneself regarding current research and evidenceavailable in the field.Activity 3: STOP OR GO Read the health information below. Draw a cross on the GO column if it isscientifically true and proven, and draw a cross on the STOP column if it is not. GO STOP Warts are contagious. Chocolates cause acne and pimples. Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis. Healthy people who eat a balanced diet do not need supplements. Sleeping with wet hair causes mental disorders. Jumping from the third step of the stairs on the first day of menstruation reduces the number of bleeding days. Circumcision is done for hygienic purposes only. Touching hands of people with HIV may infect you with such. Putting toothpaste on burns causes irritation. Sleep need varies depending on the individualThink About It!Discuss the questions: 1. Why are there misleading health information? Who spreads them? 2. Who are the sources of health information?Beyond the Classroom 1. What are other examples of myths (superstitions) and/or misconceptions that you hear in your community? 2. Write them on your notebook and search for a scientific proof to counter them. 202 All rights reserved.

First Edition, 2015.

DEPED COPY Aside from health information, people also consume health products. Health products are food, drugs, cosmetics, devices, biologicals, vaccines, in-vitro diagnostic reagents, and household/urban hazardous substances and/or a combination of and/or a derivative thereof (FDA Act, 2009). These products may be purchased from various places like supermarkets, pharmacies, and hospitals. Activity 4: MY SHOPPING LIST 1. List five examples of health products that people buy and consume. 2. Enumerate the answers in your notebook. Health Products How do these products affect the overall well-being of an individual? 203 All rights reserved.

First Edition, 2015.

Activity 5: LET’S GO BACK 1. Read the following information. 2. Identify reliable and unreliable sources of health information and products. 3. Complete the table below. Sources of Health Information and Products Reliable Unreliable DEPED COPY People acquire health information and products from various sources likepeople, media, and technology. It is important to identify the reliability of these sources. Reliable sources of health information and products are licensed professionalswho took up specialized and intensive studies in the field. They are the ones whohave the qualified educational background and can give scientific explanation tovalidate information. We can also find reliable health information from health books,and accredited online sources. On the other hand, unreliable sources of informationand products are those from people who are not experts in this field. Aside from health information and products, people also avail of various healthservices from different providers. Health services are often connected to healthcare. These programs aim toappraise the health conditions of individuals through screening and examinations,cure and treat disorders, prevent and control the spread of diseases, provide safety,emergency care, and first aid, and ensure a follow-up program for individuals whohave undergone treatments. Health services are usually offered by healthcare providers. “A healthcareprovider is a trained professional who provides people with healthcare” (Meeks, et al.,2011). There are different types of healthcare providers, such as:I. Health Professionals Individuals who are licensed to practice medicine and other allied healthprograms. An example of a health professional is a physician. A physician recordsthe medical history of individuals, provides diagnoses, performs medical examinations,and prescribes medications. There are different types of physicians based on theirarea of specialization. 204 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPYDO YOU KNOW? Healthcare practitioners and allied health professionals are also considered health care providers. “A healthcare practitioner is an independent healthcare provider who is licensed to practice on a specific area of the body” (Meeks, et al., 2011). Some examples of healthcare practitioners are podiatrists (who specialize in the problems of the feet), dentists, and optometrists. On the other hand, “an allied health professional is a trained healthcare provider who practices under the supervision of a physician or healthcare practitioner” (Meeks, et al., 2011). Nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and physical therapists are examples of allied health professionals.II. Healthcare Facilities Healthcare facilities are places or institutions that offer healthcare services. There are different types of healthcare facilities (Meeks, et al., 2011). a. Hospital It is an institution where people undergo medical diagnosis, care and treatment. A hospital offers different types of medical care like inpatient and outpatient care. Inpatient care refers to care given to individuals who need to stay inside the hospital to receive proper treatment, monitoring and care. On the other hand, outpatient care refers to treatment that does not require an individual to stay inside the hospital. There are different kinds of hospitals: private, voluntary, government, and teaching (Meeks, et al., 2011). A private hospital is operated by individuals to gain profit. A voluntary hospital does not require profit because it is owned by a community or an organization. A government or public hospital is being run by the state and the treatment fees are subsidized. A teaching hospital includes a school for medical students. In the Philippines, there are two classifications of hospitals: general and specialty. General hospitals have complete medical, surgical, and maternal care facilities. Some examples are the Philippine General Hospital, Baguio General Hospital, Cebu General Hospital, and Davao Medical Center. On the other hand, specialty hospitals handle a particular disease or condition or deal with only one type of patient. Some examples are the Philippine Heart Center, Lung Center of the Philippines, and National Kidney Transplant Institute. 206 All rights reserved.

DEPED COPYActivity 7: HEALTHY PLACES 1. Complete the table by writing the correct answers on each box. 2. Find a partner and discuss the description of each health facility. Health Facilities TypesIII. Health Insurance `“Health insurance is a financial agreement between an insurance companyand an individual or group for the payment of healthcare costs” (Payne, et al., 2005).This also may pertain to a “protection that provides benefits for sickness and injury”(Meeks, et al., 2011). It offers various types of coverage: “medical insurance, major medical insurance,hospitalization insurance, surgical insurance, and disability insurance” (Meeks, et al.,2011). Medical insurance pays for the fees of the health professionals, laboratorytests, and prescription drugs. Major medical insurance offers payment for long-term orchronic diseases such as AIDS and cancer. Hospitalization insurance pays for the stayof the patient inside the hospital. Surgical insurance pays for surgery fees. Disabilityinsurance provides financing for members who meet accidents or suffer from illnesses. 208 All rights reserved.

First Edition, 2015.

DEPED COPY Health insurance may be sourced from both public and private companies. An example of public health insurance is PhilHealth. As mandated by law in the country, employees of both public and private companies avail of PhilHealth. It requires a small monthly contribution from its members. These contributions are saved and used for the medical care needed by a PhilHealth member. A health maintenance organization (HMO) is a healthcare provider that offers medical services that are availed through a prepaid amount of money. It is a business that requires a relatively reduced monthly fee for subscribers. The difference of an HMO with other insurance companies is that it hires or trains its own health professionals and healthcare practitioners. Time To Read Using a computer with an internet connection, identify at least two other health insurances offered in the country. If without an Internet connection, you may inquire from the nearest hospital/medical center. Write a short paragraph about each health insurance and its benefits. Cite your resources properly. “Consumers today face an amazing array of choices when they consider taking action to improve their health or seek care for a health problem” (Donatelle, 2006). In addition to health professionals, there are also many other forms of healthcare that offer alternatives. These complementary and alternative healthcare modalities are often taken because some individuals believe that traditional medical care may not be enough to treat a particular health condition. A complementary medicine is availed and integrated together with traditional medicine. On the other hand, alternative medicine is offered in place of traditional medicine. There are four major domains of complementary and alternative medicine: biology-based practices, energy medicine, manipulative and body-based practices, and mind-body medicine (Donatelle, 2006). Examples of biologically-based practices are taking herbal medicine and availing of special diets and vitamins. Energy medicine uses magnetic fields or biofields in belief that energy fields may enter various points in the body. Manipulative and body-based practices are bodily-kinesthetic in nature and are concerned with movement therapy. Mind-body medicine uses mental exercises in belief that the brain is central to the health of an individual. In our country, Republic Act No. 8423 or the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997 provisioned the creation of the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Healthcare (PITAHC), which works closely with the Department of 209 All rights reserved.

Here are examples of the PITAHC-approvedalternative modalitiesNaturopathy “Naturopathic medicine views diseases as a manifestation of an alteration inthe processes by which the body naturally heals itself” (Donatelle, 2006). Naturopathyoffers a wide range of natural practices including herbal medicine acupuncture,acupressure, nutritional therapy, and ventosa cupping massage therapy.Herbal medicine There are 10 herbs that are proven and tested to have medicinal value andapproved by the Department of Health” (Galvez Tan, et al., 2009)DEPED COPYActivity 8: GARDEN OF HERBSWhat are the herbs approved by the Department of Health?Unscramble the letters to form each herb in column A.Read column B for the medicinal value of each herb.

What does it guarantee? c. Will you buy it? Make a comparative chart that lists reasons for buying and reasons for declining this product. Consumers receive health information, products, and services from varioussources, thus individuals may be prone to frauds. An example of which is quackery. Quackery, a form of a health fraud, is any advertisement, promotion, or saleof products and services that have not been scientifically proven safe and effective(Meeks, et al, 2011). It is being operated by a quack. A quack is an individual that haslittle or no professional qualifications to practice medicine. He/She also pretentiouslyuses meaningless medical jargon and relies on scare tactics, paranoid accusations,and quick fixes. There are three major characteristics of health quackery (Schaler & Carroll,undated). First, it is a big business. A huge amount of money is spent on fraudulenthealth products and services. Second, it multiplies and spreads fast. Lastly, it thriveson individuals who are diagnosed with illnesses that are known to have no cure. 216 All rights reserved.

On the other hand, exclusions are specific services that are not paid by the issuer. Forms of health insurance are not all the same. It is important to study the plan before availing it. Here are some actions that may be taken to evaluate a health insurance (Meeks, et al., 2011): 1. Obtain and read carefully a copy of the health insurance plan. 2.
