摘要:

ABSTRACT:Motor vehicle accidents constitute the leading cause of death among children and youth ages 15–24. The Year 2000 Health Objectives for the Nation call for reduction in fatalities in this population through increasing occupant restraint measures. This article provides an overview of how one school district developed a school and community safety bell incentive program to increase safety belt use among high school students. The intervention program followed a seven‐step process, involving community leaders, school officials, students, and local law enforcement personnel in its design, implementation, and evaluation. Local merchants and the Alabama Dept. of Health donated program incentives. Measurement of safety belt use among the target population revealed increased use throughout the prog

摘要:

ABSTRACT:A formative evaluation was conducted ofChanging the Course, a behaviorally oriented, activity‐based nutrition education curriculum for elementary students from the American Cancer Society, to assess feasibility of program implementation. Sixteen teachers in six schools in the Northeast taught the 15–16 session lower and upper elementary curricula to 702 students. Teacher satisfaction with the curriculum was high. Fidelity of implementation of the curriculum also was high and relatively few modifications to learning activities were made. Teachers reported the one day of training they received was adequate. They also reported a positive influence of the curriculum on themselves and their students. Student achievement results showed most children achieved most of the learning objectives at posttest — 80% giving the correct answers on more than 75% of the test items. An examination of children's item‐by‐item answers on the posttest and of teachers' logs provided information useful for the final stages of development of the curricula and teacher training procedures, before national diss

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Adolescents are the only U.S. population group not to improve morbidity and mortality since 1960. Social and behavioral etiologies of adolescent morbidity and mortality are best addressed in schools, since health care providers rarely are seen by teen‐agers for other than organic health complaints. The relevance of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development for adolescent risk‐taking and their attendant health problems are discussed. Recognizing adolescent risk‐taking as a means of achieving autonomy and identity, nurses and health educators can intervene to promote health‐enhancing alternatives to achieve those ends. Social learning theory provides a basis for interventions to personalize the curricula, change behaviors, and shape the envi

摘要:

ABSTRACT:To determine the extent to which HIV education and health education policies and practices are required by school districts in the United States, a national probability sample of public school districts was surveyed by mail in 1990. Of 2,150 districts selected, 78.1% responded. HIV education was required by 66.9% of districts. Of these, the percentage requiring HIV education increased by grade level from 29.7% in kindergarten to 82.3% in 7th grade, then declined to 37.3% by 12th grade. Districts that required HIV education most often addressed HIV‐related prevention skills in the upper grade levels. Similar to requirements for HIV education, health education requirements also declined from 7th to 12th grade, reaching even lower levels than HIV education by the last two years of high school. These declines are of particular concern given that students are most likely to engage in risk behaviors when HIV and health education is least likely to be required. Other practices and policies that support HIV and health education also were lacking in many district

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Dietary risk for cardiovascular disease was assessed in 97 adolescents enrolled in health classes in two high schools in rural, central Maine, using three‐day food records and written questionnaires of self‐perceived food practices and cardiovascular nutrition knowledge. Mean percent of kilocalories from fat was 36% for both males and females. Compared to American Heart Association guidelines, 80% males and 73% females had more than 30% kilocalories from fat; 37% males and 16% females had dietary cholesterol intakes above 300 milligrams. More than 50% of males but less than 25% of females had sodium intakes greater than 3,000 milligrams. Mean dietary fiber intake of females (6 ± 4 grams) was significantly lower than the fiber intake of males (11 ± 8 grams). During adolescence, greater emphasis should be placed on modifying food behaviors that may be detrimental to heart health if continued into adulthood. Individualization provided within nutrition education curricula is necessary to meet the needs presented by differences in gender and variation among adoles
