摘要:

ABSTRACT:This exploratory study used focus group methods to identify strategies that promote parent involvement with young children in an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) prevention program. The Health Belief Model (HBM) guided the interview process and data analysis. Five focus groups were conducted with low‐income parents and school personnel from two urban elementary schools in Lexington, Kentucky. Cues to Action was the most frequent HBM construct expressed by both parents and school personnel in regard to ATOD prevention programs and general school activities. Enthusiasm for school activities expressed by children to their parents was identified as the core cue to parent involvement. Transportation, child care, and incentives were the basic requirements for parent involvement. Positive attitudes of school personnel, a combination of communication strategies, and multiple channels for involvement were major cues to parent involvement. Recommendations for involving parents in ATOD prevention and general school activities are suggeste

摘要:

ABSTRACT:A population‐based cohort of all children entering kindergarten in a three‐year period (N = 2,938) was followed retrospectively from kindergarten through 12th grade to estimate incidence of abnormal school vision screening tests and rates of follow‐up by community ophthalmologists or optometrists. Overall 28% of children had at least one abnormal school vision screening test. Abnormal screening with referral increased from 1.2% of five‐year‐olds to 9.1% of 13‐year‐olds. Overall, 91% of children referred had further evaluation by eye care professionals. However, visits to an eye care professional often were delayed; median time was 0.8 years for children seeing an ophthalmologist and 1.8 years for children seeing an optometrist. Results support the continued use of simple visual acuity screening in schools. Consideration should be given to screening children beyond age 12 and developing methods to increase the rapidity of parental response to referral re

摘要:

ABSTRACT:School‐based programs designed to measure health risk behavior and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have not addressed adequately the needs of adolescents outside of mainstream schools. In Florida, these youth represent a sizable proportion of the population and have been shown to be at increased risk for acquiring sexually transmitted diseases and human immunodeficiency virus. This article describes a peer‐led STD/HIV intervention for students in a dropout prevention program in Dade County, Florida. Trained peer counselor/educators (PCEs) led schoolwide activities and classroom sessions covering STD/HIV information, community health resources, communication and negotiation skills, and safer sex strategies. Teachers and students rated the PCEs effective in promoting discussion and serving as sources of information about AIDS and community health resources. Pre/post intervention questionnaire results demonstrated an increase in AIDS awareness and discussion among students as well as an increase in condom use. Based on this social influences approach, peer education appears to be a promising health education strategy for students in dropout prevention progr

摘要:

Editor's Note:This information was adapted from the fall 1995 issue ofThe ERIC Review. ERIC's role as an information provider on the Internet and various online services expanded significantly. Each week, more than 500 mail people send e‐mail to the AskERIC question‐answering service; another 25,000 visit the AskERIC Virtual Library, the National Parent Information Network, and the subject‐oriented Gopher and World Wide Web sites maintained by many ERIC clearinghouses. The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that nearly half of the nation's public schools have access to the Internet or another wide area network such as CompuService, America Online, or Prodigy. Sixty‐seven percent of public schools have plans to implement or update a wide area network. The fall 1995 issue ofThe ERIC Reviewis intended to help teacher educators, administrators, librarians, adult educators, and individual teachers introduce others to education resources on computer networks. It includes information about how teachers can learn to use telecomputing tools, a first‐person account of what happens when a teacher begins incorporating telecommunications in the classroom, and guidelines to help schools create policies for Internet use. Readers also will find a glossary of network terms, reading and resource organization lists, an overview of federal telecommunications initiatives related to education, and complete access information for ERIC‐sponsored network sites. For information about Educational Resources Information Center, including details on how to access the database or referral to one of 16 subject‐specific ERIC clearinghouses, call 800/LET‐ERIC, send e‐mail toacceric@inet.ed.gov, or browse the ERIC systems web pages athttp:www.aspensys.com
