Bloom Taxonomy: Apply (L3)

Learning objective: Students apply barrier-reduction strategies by tracing which strategy addresses a given barrier, moving from an identified obstacle to a concrete next step.
Visual style: Mermaid flowchart with a start node, a decision diamond, and multiple strategy branches converging on one end node
Steps: (1) Start node "A Health Question or Need Arises," click reveals this is the starting point for any student; (2) decision diamond "What's Getting in the Way?", click reveals naming the specific barrier is the first step toward addressing it; (3) branch nodes: "Cost/Transportation" → click reveals "use school health services or ask a trusted adult for logistics help"; "Fear/Stigma" → click reveals "practice naming the need out loud, or start with a confidential service"; "Not Knowing Where to Start" → click reveals "learn your rights and identify a community clinic in advance"; (4) shared end node "Care Is Accessed," click reveals that combining strategies is often more effective than relying on just one.
Every node must have a Mermaid `click` directive calling an infobox function.
Color coding: Blue for start/decision nodes, orange for barrier-specific branches, green for the shared end node
Implementation: Mermaid flowchart syntax with `click NodeId call showInfo("key")` for every node; infobox text in a JS lookup object.
