Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 12: Advocacy, Goal Setting, and Health Messaging.
Type: workflow
**sim-id:** health-decision-making-process-flow<br/>
**Library:** Mermaid<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy: Understand (L2)
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: explain, summarize, interpret
Learning objective: Students explain and interpret each of the six steps of a thoughtful health decision-making process by exploring a worked example scenario at each step.
Purpose: Show the six-step decision-making process applied to one consistent, realistic scenario (deciding how to respond when a ride home involves a driver who has been drinking).
Visual style: Mermaid flowchart, six sequential nodes plus a final loop-back arrow from "Reflect" to "Identify The Decision" showing that reflection feeds future decisions.
Steps (all nodes clickable):
1. "Identify The Decision" — click reveals the specific decision in the scenario: "Do I get in this car, find another way home, or say something first?"
2. "Gather Valid Information" — click reveals: "What do I actually know about how impaired the driver is, and what other options exist right now?"
3. "List Realistic Options" — click reveals three concrete options generated for the scenario (call a trusted adult, use a rideshare/taxi, ask a sober friend to drive).
4. "Weigh Likely Consequences" — click reveals a short comparison of what could happen with each option.
5. "Choose And Act" — click reveals the chosen option and the concrete action taken.
6. "Reflect Afterward" — click reveals a short reflection on whether the choice worked out and what was learned, with an arrow back to step 1.
Color coding: Blue for information-gathering steps, gold for the decision-point steps, green for the reflection step.
Implementation: Mermaid flowchart with click handlers mapped to a JavaScript infobox callback for every node.
