1. Apply the Code of Ethics for the Health Education Profession to an ethical dilemma.
2. Describe ways to integrate cultural and linguistic competence into health promotion and health education programs.
3. Test their comprehension with a short quiz and self-directed activity and then end with a final reflection on what was learned.
