摘要:

ABSTRACT:Parents of elementary school children in rural east‐central Texas were surveyed about their attitudes toward and knowledge of Comprehensive School Health Education. Data indicated widespread support for health education compared to other subject areas. Parents felt alcohol and other drugs, nutrition, and first aid were the most important topics to be covered in elementary school, while sexuality, cancer, and stress were the least important. Parents were most comfortable discussing alcohol and other drugs, family life, and growth and development with their children and least comfortable discussing exercise, cancer, and sexuality. Implications for school health programs are discusse

摘要:

ABSTRACT:As a component of program planning for a school‐based clinic in a suburban high school, a sample of 199 students and 196 parents were surveyed about preferences for health services. Parents and students were asked about health services desired and level of interest. Student overall interest in health services was less than parent interest, although both groups indicated at least a moderate level of interest. Both students and parents reported interest in availability of comprehensive services, including general health services, reproductive health services, and counseling services. The process of polling parents and students serves dual purposes of informing the population about school‐based clinics, as well as gathering information to attempt to match the health services offered with needs identif

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Less than half of a random sample (N = 211) of high school health teachers formally teach about homosexuality. When taught, it most commonly is taught for less than one class period. Only one‐in‐four teachers perceived themselves as very competent in teaching about homosexuality. This is not surprising given the fact that teachers were most likely to identify the mass media as the most commonly used source of information regarding homosexuality. One‐in‐five teachers claimed students in their classes often used abusive language when describing homosexuals. One‐third of health teachers indicated gay and lesbian rights are a threat to the American family and its values. However, one‐third of the health teachers perceived the schools were not doing enough to help homosexual adolescents. Finally, more than half the health teachers indicated gay/lesbian support groups would not be supported by their school administrator. Perceptions and behaviors regarding adolescent homosexuality varied by the teachers' gender, age, educational level, and teaching status regarding ho

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Health promotion interventions intended to improve dietary behavior frequently incorporate self‐efficacy as a construct to enhance behavior change. This paper presents results from a study to establish psychometric properties of a scale to measure children's self‐efficacy for selecting healthful food. As part of a series of pilot studies to develop instrumentation for the Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH), data were collected on third and fourth grade students (n = 1,127). Data analyses were conducted to estimate internal consistency, test‐retest reliability, factorial validity, and criterion related validity. Results revealed acceptable estimates of internal consistency for the dietary self‐efficacy scale (coefficient alpha = .84). Self‐efficacy was strong associated with the children's usual food choices, accounting for about 34% of variance (Multiple R = .58). Findings support using such an instrument for evaluating intervention programs addressing nutrition behavior and for studies to determine the association of self‐efficacy to dietary behavior or related
