ANNA WOOD
Questions
1. On the 21st of October 1995, Anna Wood took an ecstasy tablet at a dance party and died three days later. At such a young and thriving age, Anna Wood was just 15 years old with a loving family, many friends and a new job. On the night of the event that had taken place a series of risk behaviours were undertaken. Firstly by wanting to take an ecstasy tablet to get high as well as not having any knowledge on the actual drug. By having a broader knowledge on the drug she may have been still alive as she would’ve only had taken half due to knowing a whole tablet would be too much.
Another risk behaviour, was going around the corner to take the “E” and being too egger to take the pill. If she had waited for her friend George, who had further experience, as he quoted “I have taken ecstasy about fifteen times” she as well would’ve been alive. First signs of her being ill and still staying at the club at early hours of the morning would definitely be major risk behaviour. As the night progressed her condition was worsening and she collapsed after vomiting which is yet risk behaviour.
Anna’s friends taking Anna to her friend’s house was the wrong thing to do, as she should have been taken to her house where her parents could see her condition and may have used protective measures straight away like phoning an ambulance. Or even straight to the hospital if it was closer than a forty minute drive to Belrose. Anna’s friends making up a story to their parent’s that Anna’s drink was spiked, when it wasn’t and possibly using it to tell Anna’s parents. Lastly, her condition becoming out of control was too another risk behaviour.
Protective behaviours are behaviours that are likely to enhance good health. Example of these are drug and alcohol campaigns, protecting and raising awareness of the short and long term risk of endangering ones health status. Possibly resulting in serious danger or death by the consumption of drug and alcohol use. Protective
