• Construct a brief health genealogy for yourself. • This will involve gathering some information from family members and discussing the family's health history (See profile of family health history). • If possible, include your siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and further back, where information is available. • It might not be necessary to interview all these people, but grandparents in particular can provide information that might be particularly useful (the more information you can get, the clearer any patterns will become). • If constructing a genealogy of this nature is not possible, consult with the paper leader. Your Behavioural History• Alongside this, construct an overview of your behavioural history.• Document your key health-compromising and health-promoting behaviours (e.g., exercise, diet, smoking, alcohol, drug use etc.)• Include some indication of frequency and the length of time you have been engaging in these behaviours. Profile of Your Family's Health History• Describe the process you undertook clearly to collect your health data.• Construct a clear and conciseprofile of your family's health history (this information can often be summarised in a table or chart) and their key health-compromising and health-promoting behaviours. • There is no need to identify individuals, but you should provide information on life-span, causes of death, chronic (and other) diseases, degree of biological relatedness to you, etc. Analyses• Highlight patterns of health conditions within your family, and therefore possible genetic or biological risks. • Describe what you perceive to be your primary hereditary risks (minimum 2) for morbidity and mortality based on your family history. • Write an in-depth critical analysis of each of the health conditions and health-related and/or health compromising behaviours that are significant to you. • Be sure to refer to original research to develop a clear understanding of the established/hypothesised aetiology and risk of the health conditions in question and/or the benefits/costs of each behaviour involved–from both biomedical and bio psychosocial perspectives. • Consider the relationships between the various health conditions, behaviours, and hypothesised biological risks involved, and consider the broader range of risks/benefits associated with each behaviour (e.g., alcohol use has broad range of biological and behavioural effects, as does exercise).In your analysis, you should consider:• How might/does psychological research and theory aid in our understanding of the highlighted risks/health states?• Does this understanding complement a more conventional biomedical understanding? • What issues are key to making long-standing behavioural changes to reduce the risk or impact of the risk factors you have identified, or ensure the benefits are long lasting?• What role could and should health professionals (e.g., your GP) play in your ongoing health maintenance, and does this relationship currently meet your health-related requirements?Conclusion:• Conclude by discussing what (if any) changes you intend on making (or should make) on the basis of your investigations. • What factors are likely to influence the success of any changes you intend to make?• How can principles from psychology be used to change your health-related behaviours, your current health status, and your future risk of disease?
