Where did you last spend your money? What item did you buy? Why? What kind of
service did you last avail? Who recently shared with you a new health information?

These are only few things that concern you as adolescents. Decision- making is an
important skill that you must learn in order to live a healthy and normal life.
Consumer health aims to develop a person’s ability to evaluate and utilize health
information, products, and services wisely and effectively. All of us are consumers. We
acquire health information, purchase health products, and avail of health services to
appraise, improve, and maintain our health.

Read the situation and answer the questions.

A teenager once went to the local market to buy materials for a Science project. Upon
passing by some stalls, he was invited for a free orientation on the latest product of a company.
The company was selling “health rings” that can detect the mood of a person and help lower
body temperature and blood pressure. The teenager was easily attracted, which made him buy
two health rings for himself and his sister. He spent Php 600 for the items.
After a week, the teenager and his sister developed red spots and rashes on their fingers.
Upon checking, the rings are observed to have rust around them. The teenager wants to file a
complaint so the company may return his money.

The three components of consumer health are:
a. Health Information
- Health information is any idea that we hear from people around us, read
from books and other printed materials, or from the media that influence
our health.
b. Health Products
- Health products are items that we consume to improve our well-being, like
medicine, food, clothes, furniture, electronics, etc.
c. Health Services
- Health services are programs we avail from various providers such as
physicians, nurses, therapists, health workers, hospitals, clinics, and the
government. Some examples of these health services are insurance,
treatment and cure, complementary and alternative medicine.
