my answer: a major health decision that teens might have to make is to start, and stay, on a diet. Teens can access information by using credible online resources or speaking to a health professional about what diet would best suit said teens. Then, teens can use the decision-making skills to promote individual health by seeing if the diet has improved their health, promote family health by lowering worry in said family, and promote community health by encouraging and inspiring neighbors to perhaps go on a diet themselves.
