In the final module, learners use skills and knowledge to apply professional codes of ethics and ethical principles through the dissemination of information and management of pre-diabetes.

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.
