The Comprehensive School Health Challenge

Abstract:
The Comprehensive School Health Challenge is a one-stop resource for defining, developing, and implementing comprehensive health education programs for schools. In two volumes, thirty-nine of the nation's top health and education specialists address how schools can play a critical role in shaping the health of today's young people. Thirty-two chapters and six appendices help cover a broad continuum of health education issues, including: the state of health education--past, present, and future; curriculum content and implementation; guidelines for administrative planning; structuring a healthy school environment; integrating school counseling and health education programs; personal and social skills development; promoting multicultural sensitivity; the science base of comprehensive health education; involving students, the family, and the community; dealing with controversy; and funding for school health programs.
