Substance Abuse, Addictive Behaviour and Obesity edit

The substance abuse, addictive behaviour and obesity (SAABO) outcomes focus on how habits and addictions can cause health-related problems and illnesses.

There are four substance abuse, addictive behaviour and obesity outcomes:

  • SAABO1: Explain factors related to the development of substance abuse or addictive behaviour.
  • SAABO2: Examine prevention strategies and treatments for substance abuse and addictive behaviour.
  • SAABO3: Discuss factors related to overeating and the development of obesity.
  • SAABO4: Discuss prevention strategies and treatments for overeating and obesity.

Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.
