ABSTRACTTraditional pregnancy prevention strategies employed with adults and older teens do not recognize significant developmental differences between early adolescents and other age groups. Methods that compliment, reflect, and are consistent with developmental needs of the young teen provide cogent approaches to teen pregnancy prevention. Particular emphasis should be placed on interpersonal relationships and their importance in the young woman's life, especially the relationship between the young teen and her parents. Developing and improving all relationships instrumental in positively affecting teen decision‐making represent potent approaches to pregnancy prevention. The axioms of Piaget, Erikson, and Mercer are examined in regard to cognitive, social, emotional, and psychosexual development in the 12–14 year old. Young teens' responses to sex education as well as their use of contraception are reviewed in relation to developmental the

摘要:

ABSTRACTBandura's theory of self‐efficacy has been applied in many areas of health education including smoking cessation, pain control, eating problems, cardiac rehabilitation, and adherence to regimens. Consequently, self‐efficacy has emerged as an important concept with which health educators should be familiar. Self‐efficacy refers to one's belief in the ability to do a specific behavior. Self‐efficacy is a principle connection between knowledge and action since the belief that one can do a behavior usually occurs before one actually attempts the behavior. Self‐efficacy also affects the choice of behavior, settings in which behaviors are performed, and the amount of effort and persistence to be spent on performance of a specific task. This article will examine self‐efficacy theory, describe sources of self‐efficacy, and present applications of self‐

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study examined the structure of causal beliefs in children, concentrating on attributions by children about “staying well” vs. “getting sick.” Eighty‐two children in grades one, three, five, and seven‐eight participated in the study. Children were asked pairwise to compare five causes of health and five causes of illness. Self‐controlled or self‐initiated actions were the most highly ranked causes of health. As a cause of illness, self‐initiated behaviors were ranked second to germs and bad weather. Health and illness seemed to be understood as reciprocal aspects of the concept “health” by older but not by younger children. Results are discussed in relation to attributions made at

摘要:

ABSTRACTFuture Fit was developed to provide a low cost, heart health education and fitness program that could be incorporated readily into existing after‐school programs with minimal teacher training and nominal expenditures for equipment and supplies. Participants in the 12‐week demonstration project were 55 third and fourth grade students enrolled in after‐school programs at four sites, randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions. Results indicated significant knowledge gains and changes in knowledge, attitude, and behavior at home. These outcomes suggest health and fitness programming in the after‐school setting can be an effective complement to the education provided within the school
