摘要:

ABSTRACTA nutrition education curriculum was developed, based on a social learning model, that emphasized the importance of a low‐salt, low‐fat, and increased complex carbohydrate diet for cardiovascular health. The curriculum was pilot‐tested in eight third and fourth grade classrooms. Students were exposed to cartoon character role models, were reinforced for dietary changes, and practiced relevant behavioral skills. Students in eight other third and fourth grade classrooms served as controls. At posttest, students participating in the nutrition education program reported a significant reduction in consumption of foods high in fat and salt and an increase in consumption of complex carbohydrates. These assessments were confirmed by food selection measures and by 24‐hour food recalls. Students in the control classrooms did not report these eating pattern

摘要:

ABSTRACTConfusion exists regarding the terms health and wellness. This article presents a conceptualization of health as consisting of social, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical components; a conceptualization of wellness as theintegrationof these components; and a conceptualization of high‐level wellness as thebalanceof these components. Implications of these conceptualizations for health education are presented. Iatrogenic health education disease is discussed and a distinction is made between healtheducationand healthindoctrinatio

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis project identified the health care needs and information concerns of high school students who were potential patients for a new adolescent health clinic in Detroit. Questionnaires assessed current health problems, information needs, and factors affecting use of health services by 613 predominantly black, urban, high school students at a regional high school (n = 187, X̄ age = 16.8) and a neighborhood high school (n = 426, X̄ age = 15). Reported health problems included eating the proper foods, school problems, acne, depression, and headaches. Expressed health information needs included skin problems, drugs, gender, and birth control. Differences among school, age, and gender were noted. Subjects preferred continuity of provider care and receiving health information by private, direct, patient‐physician contact. The findings were used in staff training and in program planning for the adolescent health clinic for high‐risk

摘要:

ABSTRACTCurrent interest in health and wellness combined with the proliferation of Health Risk Appraisals (HRAs) has made classroom use of such instruments increase rapidly in recent years. This study compred two HRAs in terms of appraised age, attainable age, the list of positive lifestyle factors for reinforcement, the list of lifestyle factors to be changed, and the variables of desirable weight and blood pressure as well as observed differences in display and unique comment characteristics. One hundred and thirty‐three students at a large southeastern university comprised the sample. Though no significant differences were found in appraised age or attainable age, significant differences existed in the number of positive lifestyle changes listed, number of suggested lifestyle changes to be made by students, and several observable differences in display including graphics and tables. Implications for health educators are note

摘要:

ABSTRACTAttitudes and their measurement constitute important aspects of the study of human behavior regarding the use and abuse of alcoholic beverages. A Three Component Alcohol Attitude Scale was developed to measure three attitude components separately and in total. This study validated the scale utilizing a cross‐cultural approach. Hypotheses were formulated on the assumption that, if the scale was valid, all 54 items in each of the instrument's three components, as well as the total scale, would discriminate significantly between a sample of US university students and their Egyptian counterparts in terms of their attitudes toward alcohol use and abuse. The scale was translated into Arabic, the English and Arabic scales then were administered to a sample of 400 university students at two comparable major universities in the US and Egypt. The data were subjected to Pearson's correlation, t‐test, stepwise discriminate analysis, split‐half, and Cronbach (alpha) reliability. Forty‐nine of 54 items, each of the three components, and the total instrument discriminated significantly between US students and their Egyptian counterparts, confirming the previous validation of th

摘要:

ABSTRACTSexuality education has been proffered as a partial solution to a variety of adolescent sexual problems. Research demonstrates that programs increase knowledge, but have little direct impact on values and attitudes, actual sexual behavior, use of birth control, and teen‐age pregnancy. This article compares the effects of sexuality education programs with the results of other educational programs and discusses why sex education programs may increase knowledge, but may not effectively change behavior. Finally, good reasons to offer sexuality education are discusse

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article describes how to develop, market, implement, and evaluate an international health education travel study course. The experiences described reflect an international travel study tour of England and Scotland conducted by the authors with 25 undergraduate and graduate students. The trip enhanced both the appreciation and professional knowledge of the students of a variety of perspectives in the health area. International study provides unique opportunities for student development and contributes significantly to the quality of professional preparation of school health personnel. These experiences complement traditional professional preparation programs and can result in improved health instruction and health services in schools.
