Teens Talk Health on KQED’s Health Dialogues

The February episode of KQED’s Health Dialogues is called Teen Health: Coming Of Age. The show addresses teen health from a number of angles, from pediatricians’ perspectives, to the stress of applying to college, to school bullying.

In the opening segment (embedded below), I spoke with a group of high school students from San Francisco about how they think about health: what are they concerned about? Who do they trust for info? How would they raise a healthy teen?

With the help of partner stations and freelance reporters, I also collected answers to the same questions from teens across California, and built an embeddable Flash interactive to showcase their responses. I think the content turned out well. Hopefully, we can use the module as a template for further projects.
