It's not just personal."Your Health Today" teaches Personal Health from a truly inclusive and socially responsible perspective. While each of us has a unique set of individual characteristics that shape our health, other environmental factors have an impact on our wellbeing too. There are the individual factors--genetics, age, and gender. There are interpersonal factors--our friends, family, peers, and coworkers. And, there are broader social factors--where we live, what kind of health care access we have, what laws govern our lives. "Your Health Today" incorporates all of these, acting as a guide for healthy living in college and beyond, no matter what the future brings.

Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
