摘要:

ABSTRACTPhysical examinations were performed and health and sexual histories were taken on 496 12–14‐year‐old, inner city, middle school students participating in extracurricular activities. Health problems were identified in 9.5% of students. Twenty‐one percent of a subgroup of 276 students reported sexual activity; males were three times as likely as females to report intercourse. More than one‐half of a smaller subgroup named their parents as their primary source of information on sex. The value of the screening exam is discussed, and suggestions are offered on the content of preventive health and sex education curricula for this

摘要:

ABSTRACTOpen Airways is a clinic‐based health education program for low income, inner city families of children with asthma. The program was transferred to the public schools to test it in a setting more representative of school‐age children with asthma, and to provide health education for families not receiving medical care for asthma. During the transfer, the program changed from placing primary responsibility for management on parents to a child‐centered program independent of direct parental involvement. Children's attendance increased greatly and a significant number of families not receiving regular medical care for asthma enrolled. Preliminary analysis showed the child‐centered program improved children's school performance and asthma management skills. The findings of this study suggest health education programs designed for medical care settings can be adapted successfully for use in the schools and reach new populations of children with chronic d

摘要:

ABSTRACTEvaluation of school nursing often focuses more on programmatic concerns than on performance. More emphasis is placed on program components than on quality of nursing performance. In addition, many such evaluations are conducted by non‐nurses who do not possess the theoretical or clinical knowledge to evaluate practice accurately. Considerations in planning meaningful evaluations of school nursing practice are described. Types of objectives are identified, and suggestions for designing an evaluation are offered. The importance of standardizing an evaluation is discussed, including reference to some major evaluation resource

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article reviews experimental literature concerning the impact of drug (including alcohol and tobacco) education. Major weaknesses are identified with respect to planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of programs. Of special significance are inadequate identification of program objectives and target groups, failure to appreciate the dynamics of effective influence, lack of attention to program dissemination and utilization, and lack of concern with establishing the impact of programs through careful evaluation.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study determined the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use among high school students in selected rural communities in Arkansas, and identified factors associated with initiation and maintenance of use. A questionnaire was distributed to 1,237 students in 13 rural high schools in different educational service regions of Arkansas during spring 1985. Results indicated 34.5% of males and 2.5% of females reported regular use of smokeless tobacco. The factor contributing most to initiation of this practice was the influence of a parent who used smokeless tobacco products. Comparisons to other recent studies and implications for health educators are discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACTBlood pressure (BP) readings were obtained for 1,680 low income Mexican‐American (MA) children, ages ten‐14 years, to determine distributions among this ethnic group. Analysis of data indicated mean BP increased with age, with boys exhibiting slightly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures than girls. Comparion of MA subjects with National Institutes of Health percentile norms revealed significantly lower BP levels (p<.001) among study subjects at all age gro
