摘要:

ABSTRACTThe original theory in the 1920s on the mode of action of Laetrile is described along with the research that followed in light of this theory. For over 40 years, studies were conducted, using test animals, in an attempt to substantiate the theory. All of these studies have shown Laetrile does not preferentially kill cancer cells. In spite of these studies, the misconception persists that Laetrile prevents and cures cancer. The legal and socioeconomic implications of Laetrile are examined and the role of health education in combating this problem is explored.

摘要:

ABSTRACTContemporary medical care is a valuable but incomplete approach to health. The individual is coming to be recognized by many providers and consumers of health care alike as the primary health care resource, and individual behaviors and lifestyles are now recognized as the principle determinants of health. A new trend toward health activation is emerging which emphasizes self‐care and self‐help. This movement is transforming the traditionally passive patient into an active, informed and effective participant in health care and health promotion. The recent interest in programs designed to enhance self‐care skills is extremely relevant to health education in the schools and the community. The prime justification of health education has traditionally been one of promoting individual responsibility for generating and maintaining health. Integration of health education concepts and strategies with health activation programs may have an overall effect of enhancing health in the United S

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe Okanagan dental health team invited parents of kindergarten children to attend an educational and brush‐in session of the school dental program. This included actively participating in the brush‐in.In four school districts, data were compiled comparing children whose parents attended with children whose parents did not. Behavioral variables compared included dental visits, routine oral hygiene, and the use of fluoride paste and rinse at the sessions. Dental exams both a priori and a posteriori allowed an assessment of the dentition and gingival tissue of both groups.Results showed a significantly greater improvement in both the dental behavior and dental health of the children whose parents attended the session. These results give valid evidence to the advantage of involving parents in a school based dental prog

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe following article represents a summary of a study conducted during the 1976‐77 school year in Virginia. The investigation was an attempt to describe some characteristics of school health services around the Commonwealth. The study also provided an opportunity to implement an evaluation model designed specifically for the Virginia situation, but its flexibility allows for modification in order to meet the evaluation needs of other school population
