#10: Academia's responsibility?
I think that academic institutions, though not required, can play a large role in promoting disease prevention for women in at least 2 ways. For one, the instructors can incorporate disease prevention education into their syllabi's and tailor it according to the subject. Also, they can hold presentations regarding the the diseases and how to prevent them. Other than presenting the information to the women in that community, academic institutions can help to discover more ways of disease prevention by participating in research and then disseminating the information in an easy to understand format. The student body can become active in providing information to the surrounding community by promoting or providing health fairs.

I agree with you that the best way to prevent this desease is to educate women and also men about the desease. I think also health fares will the best source of information in the processes of preventing the dieases.
Academic institutions can help many women in a lot of ways. They not only can hold different presentations but they can change the type of food that is being served in the schools. That is another way I feel some students would like to make a change. Just keeping people educated and giving them different options to where they would have a healthier life, can make a lot of difference in our world today.
