Assignment 2-Personal Health Invetory

This document is a personal health inventory that assesses an individual's health risks across several domains: heredity, mental health, nutrition, physical fitness, personal and health care, public health, and safety. It contains 47 questions to which the respondent answers yes or no and receives points that contribute to an overall risk score. A higher score indicates lower health risks, while a lower score signals areas of concern that could increase risk if not addressed. The inventory is meant to help individuals identify positive health behaviors to adopt and negative behaviors to change in order to lower risks and improve wellness over time.
