Example for the Development of the “Person-Centered Health Education” Theme.

Process Examples
Familiarizing (phase 1) “I have pictures—color pictures—of what can happen to your eyes. Really, it's very simple like diabetes can affect your eyes and then a picture of what normal vision looks like. And then a picture of what you would see if your eyes are affected by diabetes—and then a picture of a wound on the foot. So diabetes can affect your feet. I mean, very simple and that's the kind of thing.”
