Objectives: You students will be capable To differentiate between health education and health promotion To understand the role of health promotion in disease prevention

Health Education: Definition “Health education is the process by which individuals and group of people learn to “: • Promote • Maintain • Restore health. “Education for health begins with people as they are, with whatever interests they may have in improving their living conditions”.

Health Education: Definition (Continued) • A process that informs, motivates, and helps people to adopt and maintain healthy practices and life styles.

Health education or Health Promotion? • Health education is defined as: “Any combination of learning experiences designed to facilitate voluntary adaptation of behavior conducive to health”.

HE or HP (Continued) This definition imply: - All possible channels of influence on health are appropriately combined and designed to support adaptation of behavior. - The word “voluntary” is significant for ethical reasons. (Educators should not force people to do what they don’t want to do )

HE or HP i.e. All efforts should be done to help people make decisions and have their own choices. - The word “designed” refers to planned, integral, intended activities rather than casual, incident, trivial experiences.

Health education or Health Promotion? • With rising criticism that traditional H.E. was too narrow, focused on individual’s lifestyle and could become “victim blaming”, more work was done about wider issues e.g. social policy, environmental safety measures EMERGENCE of HEALTH PROMOTION )

Health Promotion: “ Is any combination of educational, organizational, economic and environmental support for behaviors and conditions of living conducive to health .” Health Promotion is a widely used term to encompass various activities e.g. : • Behavior & lifestyle, • Preventive health services, • Health protection directed at environment, • Health related public policy, • Economic & regulatory measures. (Health Education is the primary and dominant measure in Health Promotion ).

10 Key Action Areas for Health Promotion(Ottawa Charter and Jakarta Declaration) • Build healthy public policy • Create supportive environments • Strengthen community action • Develop personal skills • Reorient health services towards primary health care • Promote social responsibility for health • Increase investment for health development to address social inequalities leading to poor health • Consolidate and expand partnerships for health • Strengthen communities and increase community capacity to empower the individual • Secure an infrastructure for health promotion

Health Promotion Means Changing Behavior at Multiple Levels A Individual: knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, personality  B Interpersonal: family, friends, peers  C Community: social networks, standards, norms  D Institutional: rules, policies, informal structures E Public Policy: local policies related to healthy practices Source: Adapted from National Cancer Institute, Theory at a Glance: A Guide for Health Promotion (2003), available online at http://cancer.gov.

Health Promotion Tools • Mass media • Social marketing • Community mobilization • Health education • Client-provider interactions • Policy communication Source: Robert Hornik and Emile McAnany, “Mass Media and Fertility Change,” in Diffusion Processes and Fertility Transition: Selected Perspectives, ed. John Casterline (Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2001): 208-39.

AIMS OF HEALTH EDUCATION: 1. To develop a sense of responsibility for health conditions, as individuals, as members of families & communities. (Promotion ,prevention of disease & early diagnosis and management ). 2. To promote and wisely use the available health services. 3. To be part of all education, and to continue throughout whole span of life.

Process of health education: • Dissemination of scientific knowledge (about how to promote and maintain health), leads to changes in KAP related to such changes.

New ideas and practices • Awareness • Interest • Evaluation • Trial • Adoption

Steps for adopting new ideas & practices : • AWARENESS (Know about new ideas) • INTEREST (Seeks more details ) • EVALUATION (Advantages versus disadvantages + testing usefulness ) • TRIAL(Decision put into practice) • ADOPTION (person feels newidea is good and adopts it)

Practice of health education • Individual and family • Education to general public • T.V • Radio • Press • Films • Health magazine • Posters • Health exhibition ● Health museum Mass media is less effective in changing human behavior

Lectures Film and charts Group discussion Panel discussion Symposium Workshop Role playing Demonstration Programmed instruction Stimulation and exercise Group health education

CONTENTS OF HEALTH EDUCATION: • Nutrition • Health habits • Personal hygiene • Safety rules • Basic (K) of disease & preventive measures • Mental health • Proper use of health services • Sex education • Special education for groups( fd handlers, occupations, mothers, school health etc. ) • Principles of healthy life style e.g. sleep, exercise

Principles of health education: • Interest • Participation • Motivation • Comprehension • Proceeding from the known to the unknown • Reinforcement through repetition • Good human relations • People, facts and media: “knowledgeable, attractive , acceptable “.

Interest Participation Known to unknown Comprehension Reinforcement Motivation Learning by doing Soil, seed Good human relation Leaders Principles

Principles of health education: • Learning by doing:“ If I hear, I forget. If I see, I remember. If I do, I know”. • Motivation, i.e. awakening the desire to know and learn:- Primary motives, e.g. inborn desires , hunger, sex. - Secondary motives, i.e. desires created by incentives such as praise, love, recognition, competition.

Communication in health education: • Education is primarily a matter of communication, the components of which are: CHANNELS AUDIENCE MESSAGE COMMUNICATOR - Individual - Conform with - Educator - Media - Group objectives. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 2 way- Public - understandable - needs+ interest of audience ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 1 way- Public- Acceptable - ? Content of message -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Communication • Communicator • Message • Audience • Channels of communication

Communication barriers • Physiological • Difficulties in hearing, expression • Psychological • Emotional disturbance • Environmental • Noise, invisibility • Cultural • Knowledge, custom, believe, religion

Evaluation of health education programs: There should be continuous evaluation. • Evaluation should not be left to the end but should be done from time to time for purpose of making modifications to achieve better results.

There is a Table of Contents, but an index and glossary of terms would both be helpful to find information quickly.

Content Accuracy rating: 4

The information is well organized and accurate. Some updates are needed, such as reference to latest edition of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), including online tools to track menstrual cycle and Roe vs. Wade overturned stance on abortion in U.S., using more current CDC Fact sheets, including psychodelic mushrooms under drugs of abuse and impacet of legalization of marijuana on abuse potention, and including e-cigarettes, JUUL, and other modern cigarette types. Some minor typographical and spelling errors were noted ('spermacides').

Relevance/Longevity rating: 4

Updating sections to include modern aspects would be helpful.

Clarity rating: 5

The language is clear and conducive to an undergraduate level college audience.

Consistency rating: 5

The book flows well and uses consistent terminology throughout the chapters.

Modularity rating: 5

The text is divided into subsections, making it manageable to read and understand.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

Use of more diagrams would be helpful. The diagrams and charts used emphasize the textbook reading.

Grammatical Errors rating: 4

Some minor typographical (bullets points not aligned in e-copy) and spelling errors were noted ('spermacides').

Cultural Relevance rating: 4

Culturally and racially sensitive.

This is a well-written, well-organized textbook which provides a good overview of health. Including the WHO definition of health and wellness would be beneficial as well as using more references to college-age students to engage this audience. In addition, updating sections to modern times would be helpful. Nonetheless, it is a straightforward and helpful textbook to use for a general health class elective.

Reviewed by Anna Smyth, Adjunct Faculty, Salt Lake Community College on 4/18/21

Health is a broad subject, and this book has done a nice job of categorizing and explaining some of the most important aspects. The book does not have a glossary or index but provides references at the end of each chapter for further exploration. read more

The data and information presented in the book appears to be accurate but some statistics are over 10 years old. Students would benefit from an updated edition. The information about sensitive topics such as violence in relationships, sexual health, etc. are handled skillfully without bias.

The text is written in a way that it would be relatively easy to update. Some of the topics, legal marriage for example, are changing due to legislation across the country, but the book speaks generally enough about these topics to capture this reality. The reader can pursue the references included at the end of each chapter to find more specific time-sensitive data around such topics.

Clarity rating: 4

The book is very clear in its use of language. This is a particularly appealing element if you have students whose native language isn't English. A moderate proficiency in English will make this book accessible--easy to read and understand. One missing piece of context noted: Section 5.6 seems to refer to a chart, ie "in the lower left corner" but no chart is included.

Consistency rating: 4

The text is consistent in the way the framework has been structured and the terminology is relatively consistent throughout, however there are some occasional verb tense inconsistencies, for example in Chapters 6 and 8 the voice alternates between speaking directly to the reader (you) and in third-person.

Modularity rating: 4

It would be as easy to pull a few excerpts from the book as assigned reading as it would be to review the entire text throughout a semester. There could be more of a contextual introduction to each chapter that may help provide a useful modular framework.

As the text is a presentation of a variety of interrelated topics rather than information that must be presented in a particular sequence for full and proper understanding, the organization seemed appropriate and sufficient. As Maslow's heirarchy is presented, there is an argument for using the order from that framework or the order of the six dimensions of health presented in Chapter 1, but the content therein, aside from Chapter 1, is not determined by the sequence so the current organization is sufficient.

I saw no significant interface issues, however the text could benefit from more illustrative images throughout to support learning and such images could help with minimizing any confusion as well as retention of the information presented. An example of such is Figures 14 and 15 on page 152 and Figure 4 in Chapter 9.

In my review, I noticed very few grammatical or spelling errors.

Cultural Relevance rating: 3

Some of the sections could be updated with more inclusive language, such as the section on fertility and conception. Language such as "pregnant people" rather than "pregnant women" or "birthing person" rather than "pregnant mother" is more inclusive of the transgender community. The text generally tends to reference nationwide statistics without detail or context regarding specific demographics. This could be a valuable addition as illustrated in Chapter 1 that health can be substantially influenced by things such as race and ethnicity, culturally sensitive healthcare, sexual identity and orientation, etc. which are topics included later in the text. Expounding upon some of these critical aspects of health and determinants of health would add value and represent a more comprehensive perspective of health in the US.

This book is a solid resource with lots of useful information to use in health-related course curricula.

Reviewed by Garvita Thareja, Assistant Professor, Metropolitan State University of Denver on 3/16/21, updated 4/22/21

It had covered most of the major topics in health and wellness. However, there are some foundational topics like dimensions or health (they touched these, but need more depth), theories for behavior change that should be added , being foundational in nature. Then again, some concepts are just added there and may not be needed at this level as it adds to confusion than contribution. We don't need that deeper biology part as its a health topic and not anatomy/physiology.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

Its very accurate book. I would re structure some aspects and add some examples at few places, but overall, its up the mark with accuracy.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 3

Content needs an update. For example if its a weight management, then we need to add information about various apps and calorie tracking resources. If its a drug and abuse, I would add an activity that really engages students about how taking shots can affect their cognition and possibly put them in DUI. This text has too much theoretical concepts but less of applied part or case studies.

The information is clear and use simple languages. Not big jargons or difficult terms.

Yes, its consistent with the topics and headings and sub headings. Its just too much information actually VS field work, examples and real applications.

yes, its divided into various parts and sub parts. Easy to navigate and clear layout. I would just add that piece where if we click on a sub topic from table of contents, it takes us to that page automatically instead of scrolling around.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

Yes, very clear and logical flow.

Interface rating: 5

Its easy to navigate. I would add a little more images as it gets monotonous reading it. WIth a topic like health, lot more colors and contrasts and images can be added.

Grammatical Errors rating: 5

I did not find one.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

Not offensive. But I would actually add more of culture and diversity when it comes to health. Why are some cultures "Healthy"? or "why is disparity between genders with access to healthcare across the globe/developing nations"?

It is an interesting book. I liked reading it and refreshing some of the topics. I would just add some case studies and activities to make it more interactive instead of passive reading. May be we can have a supplemental lab with it? Its not a perfect book as it covers upper and lower division topics. But definitely, some components can be used as they are well written.

Reviewed by Sara Pappa, Assistant Professor, Marymount University on 2/24/21

The textbook is a comprehensive compilation of personal (individual) health topics, which are clearly defined and described. It would be appropriate for a Personal Health or Introduction to Health/Health Behavior course. It has a table of contents, but not an index or glossary. It does not highlight key terms. There is a reference list at the end of each chapter--this could be expanded to include helpful links. Chapters do not have introductions or summaries.

The content is accurate and relatively unbiased. It includes current public health topics such as the leading causes of death, social determinants of health and health disparities. I might suggest changing the name of Chapter 12 to Chronic Diseases.

Each chapter is made up of many sections, or short descriptions of the topics. This helps with the organization of the content. There are not a lot of case studies, examples, graphics or anecdotal information to enhance the learning process. The material is somewhat dry the way it is presented (not very engaging).

The textbook is written in clear language and at an appropriate reading level for college students.

The chapters are organized in a consistent manner.

The textbook could easily be broken down into smaller units or sections as well as followed in a different order as indicated by a course or instructor. The short sections, as well as the chapter and section/sub-section numbering systems, make it easy to follow.

The textbook is organized in a clear manner, with chapter and section titles that make it easy to follow.

The textbook is easy to read and navigate.

The textbook is well written with few grammatical errors.

The textbook does include some references to culturally competent content. It would be improved with the addition of specific examples, including data and research, about cultural differences and how these affect health.

Reviewed by Sarah Maness, Assistant Professor, Public Health, College of Charleston on 1/27/21

Covers a wide variety of health promotion topics, primarily at the individual level. Lacks a section on social relationships and health. Only covers romantic relationships and in ways that are culturally dated (section on Married and Non-Marrieds). read more

Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less

Content Accuracy rating: 1

I would not feel comfortable using this text in my class based on issues with accuracy. Section 1.7 about Determinants of Health mentions Healthy People 2020 however does not describe the Healthy People Social Determinants of Health Framework when talking about Social Determinants of Health and includes different factors. Citations are very dated, 2008 or earlier when this edition came out in 2018. Healthy People 2030 is now out so next version should update to that as well. Bias encountered in the chapter about relationships and communication. Only covers romantic relationships and is written with from a heteronomative perspective that also centers marriage and is stigmatizing to those who are not married. ("Marriage is very popular..because it does offer many rewards that unmarried people don't enjoy." "There are known benefits to being married an in a long-term relationship rather than being single, divorced or cohabiting). Also refers to attempts to legalize same sex marriage in this chapter, which has been legal for years now. References are not formatted in AMA or APA style which is standard for the field. Wikipedia is used as a reference in Chapter 2. Chapter 6 discusses "options" for unplanned pregnancy (including taking care of yourself, talking to a counselor, quitting smoking) and does not mention abortion as an option. HPV vaccination recommendations need to be updated.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 2

All topics are relevant but the supporting statistics are outdated by more than a decade in many places. Years are not included in many statistics, nor in the citation at the end of the chapter.

Clarity rating: 3

The sections read as rather disjointed. Chapters could be more aligned and have improved flow for the reader to understand how concepts are related. For example, going right into theoretical models of behavior change in Chapter 1 is early and advanced for an introductory text.

Consistency rating: 2

In the Introduction it states the book is about health, health education, and health promotion. Since health promotion is broader than health education, and fits the topics of the book, it is not clear why this is not the title instead. This book could be useful for an introduction to health promotion class but instructors may overlook it because of the name. Some chapters contain no in text citations despite stating facts, while others contain many. Reference lists and in text citations are formatted differently in different chapters.

Almost too modular, not clear how some sections relate and there is not a lot of detail in many subsections.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 3

The sections within each chapter often seem disjointed and do not include enough detail in each section.

Interface rating: 3

In many chapters, only weblinks are provided as citations. If the link is broken, there is no title, author, journal or year for reference. Figures included without citations (ex: Social Readjustment Rating Scale).

Grammatical Errors rating: 3

Did not notice overt grammatical errors.

Includes examples and text of people of multiple races and ethnicities. Is not inclusive based on sexual orientation and in terms of the way it discusses marriage and relationships.

The cover does not appropriately capture what the book includes. It could be more representative of health than just a sports field/physical activity. Health is multi-dimensional and includes in addition to physical - mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational aspects, which the book acknowledges in the text. Hair and clothing style of people on cover also look outdated.

Reviewed by Corrie Whitmore, Assistant Professor, University of Alaska Anchorage on 11/11/20, updated 1/10/21

Comprehensiveness rating: 5 see less

This book was developed for a Health 100 class. It covers a wide variety of personally relevant health topics, with segments defining health, discussing "your bodies response to stress," describing threats to environmental health, and offering a guide to "understanding your health care choices," which includes both nationally relevant and California-specific information. The index is detailed and specific. There is no glossary.

This textbook would be appropriate for a lower division personal health course. Some components would be useful in an introductory public health course, such as the "Introduction to Health," "Infectious Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections," and "Health Care Choices" secgments.

The text is not appropriate for a "Fundamentals of Health Education" or "Health Promotion" course aimed at future Health Educators.

Book provides accurate information with clear references to unbiased sources (such as the CDC for rates of diseases).

Content is releveant and timely.

The book is appropriately accessible for lower division students, with clear definitions of relevant vocabulary.

Good internal consistency.

The segmentation of the book into 14 topical sections, each with subsections, makes it easy to assign appropriate chunks of reading and/or draw pieces from this text for use in other courses, such as an introductory public health course.

Well-organized.

Easy to navigate.

Easy to read.

Good discussion of health disparities, acknowledges cultural components in health. Is not insensitive or offensive.

Reviewed by Audrey McCrary-Quarles, Associate Professor, South Carolina State University on 8/17/20

The author could use a picture that exhibits diversity on the cover.

Some of the data is just a little outdated but can be updated very easily with an article or current chart.

Clarity is okay.

Consistency is good!

Should be an easy read for students.

Organization and flow are great!

Text can use some more pictures and charts, especially in Chapter 1.

Did not notice any grammar errors in scanning over the book.

The cover should be a picture that depicts diversity as well as showing more diversity throughout the book.

Overall, the book serves its purpose. It is good!

Reviewed by Vanessa Newman, Adjunct Faculty, Rogue Community College on 7/22/20

The textbook successfully covers a wide array of health education topics. The chapters on "Relationships & Love" and "Health Care Choices" were excellent additions to what you find in many health books. Overall, I would have liked to have seen more case studies, illustrations, examples, and quick quizzes to reinforce the content presented and to reach students with different learning styles. Many of the sub-topics could be even more robust with the addition of information on auto-immune disorders for example or a section on health education professionals like personal trainers and health coaches or information on what to do if you suspect a food-borne illness and how to access help.

The contributors have done a great job of presenting accurate information but it is now outdated in many sections and chapters which is what happens in textbooks generally. The language and presentation of material appears unbiased. The addition of more graphics and examples that cross demographics, cultures, and races would be a welcome addition. I found no factual errors but did question the notion that gluten-free diets can assist with anemia and wondered if research about the resilience gene in children might be referenced.

The research presented is all 2015 or before with an emphasis on 2008 information. Sections about marijuana and cannabis, infertility, social disorder, and smoking need refreshing. It would be helpful to have information about genetic testing (23 and me and Live Wello) added, functional fitness addressed, and infectious disease content brought up to date. So much has happened affecting people's health has transpired since 2015 that it is time for updating. Also, more information in sections like how baby birth weight can predict chronic disease development and mindfulness as a practice for improved quality of life.

Content is presented in clear, concise and appropriate language. Every once in a while there is a sentence structure issue or a word ordering that is clarified by a re-read. There is not an emphasis on jargon or overuse of idioms in my opinion. All terminology was defined or given reference as to where to locate additional information. Again the use of diagrams, illustrations, more examples would also improve clarity and accessibility for some. I did not recall seeing information on how many calories are in a gram of protein, carbohydrate and fat presented. And relevance affects clarity. For example, including language about portal of entry and exit in the infectious disease section.

Having a quick quiz at the end of every chapter would have added consistency. Also standardized formatting for charts and graphics would improve the textbook overall as well. The chapters, sections and headings all appear consistently presented. There was nothing presented that was jarring or appeared out of context. References looked similar and were all summarized at the end of each chapter.

Modularity was this textbook's strength. Large chunks of information were broken down into manageable sections and sub-sections and the white space was appreciated. Because of this, the information did not seem overwhelming or "too much too fast." Students can take breaks and not lose track of where they were or forget critical information. Again, more examples, quizzes or case studies could also improve modularity and add an interest factor. The table of contents was thorough.

Time was taken to decide which chapters and topics should be presented in which order. The flow was organic, natural and later sections built on previous information. The structure of the textbook made sense and usually my questions about a topic or subject were answered within the same page. I had no complaints about organization and could find sections easily based on the table of contents.

No interface issues for me, but I was reading on a personal computer and perhaps on a tablet or phone there would be.

The paragraph spacing was not what I would have chosen. There were some inconsistencies. There are contractions like isn't which I prefer not to see in textbooks because it is too casual a style for me. Many instances of punctuation coming after quotations, but this may have been a style choice. The font seemed appropriate but more bolding or color would keep the reader's attention. There are spelling errors on the food chart on p. 236. Some issues with singular vs. plural. For example on P. 64 "nightmares" needs to be plural. A few places where punctuation is missing.

The text is not culturally insensitive, but without additional examples, graphics, and diverse charts it becomes a bit bland. The reference to a handgun on p. 56 was uncomfortable for me. Under weight management, there could be more information presented on how different cultures appreciate varying body types and have different food rituals and discussion on how not to "fat shame" others. Some examples of cultural influences could be presented in the infectious disease section like how practices for burying the dead can lead to disease and how food preparation affects disease management.

I thought it was comprehensive and well organized. If it were not for relevance issues, I would choose to use this book in our general health class.

Health education is an enormous subject area but this text does an excellent job covering the most important topics. The comprehensive nature of it topic coverage does come at the cost of not being comprehensive within any single topic- this book... read more

Topics within Health Education are inherently subject to bias- religious, cultural and generational perspectives often influence the scientific and open-minded exploration of issues in topics like sexuality, nutrition, and relationships. This book clearly strives to support perspectives with research and did not shy away from topics like abortion and gender roles.

The greatest weakness of this text is that it often feels outdated. Health information is dynamic and no text can always be current, but there are sections that are clearly too old to be considered useful unto themselves. Examples: The narcotic abuse epidemic is absent. This is a major issue in substance abuse and the text primarily looks at heroin abuse without examining the larger issue of prescription narcotic gateways to abuse, or even other narcotics of abuse. The use of PrEP for reducing HIV transmission has been available since 2012 but is not mentioned. The section covering sexual orientation and gender identity cites the 1993 Janus Report for its source of statistics. There is no publication date listed in the text- the latest citation that I noticed was 2015 but most come well before 2010, making the text a decade old in a field that changes rapidly.

The text is well-written and easy to comprehend.

Consistency rating: 3

The Acknowledgements page at the front of the book states that it was "compiled by..." and this speaks to the way the text appears. There is no consistency is the writing of the book. Some chapters are broken down into Sections, brief (often only a paragraph long) collections of sentences that seem to address a behavioral objective that we do not see. Other chapters are written like a standard text and then some appear in a question-and-answer format. None of these are inherently problematic, but the changing style may trouble some readers.

Chapters and chapter sections are clearly delineated.

Chapters are well organized- there is no logical order into which one must teach the various issues of health. The readings of this text could easily be sequenced as desired by the instructor.

The interface is clean and simple. There are few images/illustrations- they would be a welcome addition.

The text is well-written and contains no grammatical/spelling errors that I noticed.

Overall the text seems fair and cites studies to provide evidence of its claims, though some sections simply feel less than open-minded. In the discussion of marriage vs. cohabitation (does anyone use that word anymore?), the text lists advantages of being married that include less likely to commit crimes and less addiction. Statistically, perhaps, but is there a causal relationship? A single paragraph addressing "spiritual health" states: The spiritual dimension plays a great role in motivating people’s achievement in all aspects of life. Some people, yes, but it's not a global truth. Race is never addressed as a topic within the text, though it is commonly listed when a risk factor of disease, health care disparity, etc.

If updated, this would be a superb book. As it stands, it provides an excellent framework for a college course in General Health from which the instructor, or students, could be directed to contemporary writings on these issues. An instructor could readily assign chapter readings and then short research projects that would that could be shared with the class as a whole to assure present day relevance.

Reviewed by Kathy Garganta, Adjunct Professor, Bristol Community College on 5/26/20

The textbook covers a variety of topics in a choppy sequence jumping from three chapters on sexuality and sexual health to substance abuse then onto nutrition. The book was limited in depth and many areas needed additional explanation. There are many lists that did not have the background explanations to support the lists. Several areas were lacking details and were not at college level.

Content Accuracy rating: 3

The text was generally accurate, but lacked backup documentations. Several phrases or statements appeared subjective without the supportive documentation that could lead to misinterpretation. For example, page 107, Section 6.6, Sexual Frequency is covered in one paragraph. In it a statement, “although satisfaction is lower in women,” is delivered with no backup explanation. On page 149, section 7.11, Sexually Transmitted Infections begins with a list of twenty different infections without clarity of an opening explanation.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

The textbook was written in 2018 and is still current today. Because of the changing nature of health, it will need updating.

The text was basic and often used lists without additional explanations. Many sections were too brief leaving the reader confused. Page 210 contained an example of a diet list. The list for 4 healthy diet approaches was followed by confusing numbering.

The structural set up of headings and subheadings were consistent, but occasionally spacing was off.

The use of headings and subheadings were helpful. The table of contents clear and easy to follow. Often the sub headings were very short and needed additional information to validate their statements. As an OER text, sections could be assigned as resources to courses outside of health.

The topics were arranged with an unusual flow. Having three chapters on sexuality before nutrition changed the flow and weight of importance.

The text is free of significant interface issues. The chapter headings in the table of contents allows for easy navigation. The use of charts, color displays, photos would have assisted in explaining the topics. The chapter’s would benefit with a more engaging approach. Introspective questions or activities would help to relate material to students lives.

The text contains no significant grammatical errors. However, spacing and formatting needed consistency. For example, on page 86, five definitions all begin with the same exact phrase, throwing off the reader’s flow. On pages 285-86 the formatting/spacing is off.

The text should make greater use of photos/drawings that are reflective of a variety of gender, races, and backgrounds.

Grateful to the author for contributing to OER resources.

The book doesn't cover any of the topics in an in-depth manner. Since it's an intro-level textbook, there aren't many complicated ideas to present where accuracy could be a problem. I think some areas, like nutrition, are missing more up to date info, but that could be remedied by incorporating more recent articles and info from various health journals.

Since this text provides an easy to understand overview of health, it would be easy to update. There are no cutting edge or controversial views expressed in the book, so it does have longevity, but again, there will be a need to present more up to date info to supplement the general understanding that the students will have after reading this text. I like the section on sexual health/identity/orientation in the Sexuality chapter. One more chapter that I appreciate is the chapter on psychology: the most common mental health disorders that college-aged students encounter is important and the section on resilience in both the psychology chapter and the stress management chapter are greatly needed.

The book is very clear and understandable. After having taught a health class every term for the past twenty years, I think the way this book is written would appeal to most students.

I did not catch any inconsistencies in this text. Topics discussed in early chapters might come up in later chapters at times, but the info presented the second time around is consistent with earlier explanations of ideas and terms.

Larger type on chapter headings would help improve the ability to divide the book into smaller reading sections, it's easy to miss the start of a new chapter when scrolling through the text. Once you are in a chapter, the subheadings are helpful in dividing the chapter into smaller reading sections. I wish the chapter on cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease and stroke) was limited to those two diseases, without including a section on cancer. I think the topic of cancer deserves its own chapter.

The text is well organized and chapters flow into each other in logical ways. There are enough chapters to spread this out over a ten or 15 week term/semester. The chapters are short enough that you could easily assign one and a half chapters or two chapters for one week's worth of classes.

I would have liked to see more photos, although there are plenty of graphs, and I enjoyed the interactive quiz called The Big 5 Personality Test, I would have liked to see more. Some of the links listed in resources are no longer working, and one link in the Fitness chapter is not working, (Adding Physical Activity to Your Life) and I had been looking forward to exploring the topic in more depth. The MyPlate.gov website has been significantly changed, around the time that this book was published, so some of the links to that site no longer work.

I usually notice grammatical and spelling errors, as well as missing words, but I did not encounter anything obviously wrong in my reading.

The text could use more cultural references. I would have liked to see more acknowledgement of cultural differences and references to the health of people from other cultures, especially as it relates to changes they may encounter once a person from another country moves here.

Great overview of the various topics covered in a 100 or 200 level college health class. I will use sections of this book to help simplify some of the topics that my students find challenging, for instance, the fitness and heart health chapters/sections. Due to the inclusion of many of the mental health disorders that our students encounter, I will fit in some of the sections in the psychology chapter. I look forward to implementing some of the material in this text into my health classes.

This textbook includes very similar topics to most of the college level health education books that are available today. While the book includes many of the main points related to each topic, it does not go into too much depth. However, this limitation can be solved by supplementing the book with scholarly articles. Based on the number of chapters and the amount of information, I think this book would be beneficial for a 10 week or 16 week term.

The book cites quality sources, however it would be helpful to include in-text citations since the references are only at the end of the chapters and it is difficult to know where the information is coming from. This is especially important for time sensitive information such as statistics. Also, some information seems to be directly from the sources, but it is not cited.

The information is mostly up to date, however as stated before, including in-text citations would help readers have a better idea of the relevance of the material. Also, there are limited references for each chapter.

The material is delivered in a clear and concise way. Adequate context is provided for terms and concepts.

The format of the text-book is consistent as is the type of delivery for the information.

The text includes a good amount of headings and sub-headings, which makes it easy to break the information down into smaller reading sections.

The book has a good flow to it. Each section within the chapters is well-organized and provides a logical progression.

The book is free of any significant interface issues, however there are some small issues such as spacing and formatting errors. Additionally, some small changes such as larger title pages for each chapter would be helpful as well as more graphics and pictures.

I did not notice a significant number of grammatical errors.

The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive. Like most textbooks, it could provide more examples that navigate the relationship between health and different backgrounds.

I would use this textbook, along with other supplemental materials for my course. It reviews the main topics I currently cover in my course and has less limitations than many overly-priced books.

This textbook covers the myriad of required topics for an Introductory Health Course. The table of contents includes all of the topics I cover in my classes. No textbook is perfect and this book is no different but one should not rely on textbooks... read more

One of the greatest challenges in teaching health is to be unbiased given so many factors affect our health like politics, economics, zip code etc. The textbook does a fine job of explaining the role of government. For example: generic drugs and the abortion debate. Any areas in question can be used by the instructor to create a discussion with the students for better/different alternatives or ideas.

Health is very dynamic so the textbook will need to be updated on a regular basis.

This is an easy to read text. The majority of college students will have no issues with the terminology.

For a textbook that is not professionally published I found the terminology and framework sufficient for my needs. Anything missing can easily be added by the instructor and used as a discussion or research assignment for the students.

Maybe the best feature of the text is the modularity. Each section of the table of contents is hyperlinked so one could easily pick and choose the topics assigned to the students.

The organization follows the same logical fashion as all of the top rated professionally published Health Education textbooks.

There are a couple formatting issues but nothing that affects clarity in my opinion. I think because this is free I have lower expectations vs a professionally published textbook and I am ok with this.

I did not notice any obvious grammatical errors.

The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive but it could include in-depth analysis of health status in relation to one's race, culture and zip code. As I mentioned previously this is a topic that can easily be supplemented by the professor.

This free textbook meets all the requirements for an introductory health course. It leaves room for me to do my job to engage my students in more detail by discussing controversial topics while giving them the opportunity to be critical thinkers. I appreciate all of your efforts on this project.

Reviewed by Amanda Blaisdell, Assistant Professor, Longwood University on 4/11/19

It gives a lot of information, but it isn't very "in-depth." Admittedly, it would be a challenge to be very in-depth with one book that covers so many topics. This book certainly lacks sufficient images/pictures. The amount of information varies by topic. For some reason, some topics (that don't seem as important in relation to other priority issues) have much more text and information, while other topics lack in comprehensive quality to a large extent. Types of intimate partner violence is incredibly insufficient. There are LOTS of ways that people are abusive, those 5 bullets are not enough. There are lots of incomplete sections. It seems like most sub-topics are hand-selected.

There are biases in the information. For example, mental health is described with an emphasis on college-aged students. Why? Mental health issues affect everyone. This makes it seem like a college student problem. Another example, on page. 57 a strategy to cope with stress is to "give in once in a while." What are we promoting here? I have taught health education and stress management for years. There is a better way to phrase the point they are getting to.

It seems like it is up-to-date as of right now, but health facts are only good for five years.

Sometimes more jargon is necessary. Too much relying on cultural metaphor.

Not all facts have footnotes so that the reader can find the source of the information. Why do some have a reference footnote but other facts do not? How can we dig deeper and fact-check? The reference sections are hyperlinks, which come and go. Why are the references lacking any actual APA, MLA, or other format? APA would be appropriate. Students emulate what they find in textbooks. Some seem to be in some formal form, but others are not and the formatting is not correct.

Yes, very much so.

Some topics fit in multiple categories, so there should be some in-document link to information.

Some sections have a space between paragraphs... some do not.. it is not consistent or visually appealing (Example, p. 23). Figure 1 on page 51 seems to have highlighting and blurriness on the image. Look on p. 122, what is that symbol before the "Copper IUD"? WHy does it say it twice? Is there a heading that wasn't bold? What is going on?

I don't know if you call this "grammar" per-se, but formatting is not consistent. For example, on p. 55 there is no consistency in capitalization of first words in bullet points. That just seems sloppy and unprofessional.

Don't refer to sexual arousal as being "turned on," as that is a cultural metaphor. Some language needs to be technical because this book is supposed to provide information. There is lots of evidence of attempts at cultural competence, but it doesn't provide enough of that. There are lots of lifestyles that are OK even if they don't fit our Western model.

To be honest, it seems like portions of this book are plagiarized. Is this a rough draft?

A pathway to nursing inside this Birmingham high school

Maria Manuel, a ninth-grade student at Huffman High School, wants to be an ultrasound technician.

“The most interesting thing I learned in this program is about the diet, what people are not supposed to eat, what they can eat, and what’s not healthy for them,” Manuel said.

Jasmyne Miles, also a ninth grader at Huffman, really enjoys the “hands-on” aspect of learning about nursing and literally lit up as she explained why she wants to be a pediatric nurse.

“I realized that I found more pleasure in taking care of younger kids, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have to take up health care,’” Miles said. “I’m like, ‘This is something that’s really for me,’ and it was such a passion.”

Manuel and Miles are just a few of the students in Huffman High School’s Academy of Health Science magnet program who are learning the nursing industry with exposure to hands-on, professional experience.

And that, said Birmingham City Schools (BCS) Superintendent Mark Sullivan, Ed.D., will prove invaluable to the “diverse group of students” enrolled in the program.

“One of things we know in the health care field is that people feel more comfortable around those they can relate to, [and] oftentimes African Americans and Latinos don’t really have representation in their nurses and doctors,” Sullivan told The Birmingham Times.

“This [program] is building out a pipeline for young African American and Latino boys and girls who can be in the health care field and have jobs that can really transform their lives.”

Forging A Path

The Pathway to Professional Nursing program, which launched in the fall of 2023 at Huffman High School, is designed to prepare students for post-secondary education.

The program, in its first year at Huffman High School and being offered to ninth graders, will be “expanding next year to include Woodlawn, Wenonah, and Ramsey high schools,” said Sullivan, adding that this is key for students because “they will have credentials and also a leg up when they graduate.”

Previously, the nursing program worked with students in grades 10 through 12.

The program goes beyond nursing, said Crystal Freeman, Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.), who is the Health Science Instructor at Huffman High School.

“Health Sciences is the broad name in terms of what students can pursue in career pathways, so we’re not just focusing only on nursing,” said Freeman.

“There are students who truly have interest in other careers related to health care, but many of the students—particularly the female students—only want to learn more about nursing. So many of the skills overlap, regardless of what career pathway they choose,” said Freeman, who earned her D.N.P. degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 2009.

The Power of Partnership

UAB is a key partner in providing this educational foundation, and Huffman High School was an ideal choice for the program because it had an existing designation as an Academy of Health Science, complete with readily accessible resources, such as a health care skills lab with a nursing station and manikins. The program is currently managed and co-directed by UAB School of Nursing Instructor Allyson Sanders, a Registered Nurse (R.N.) who works directly with the students at Huffman.

Students are not only investing in their future education but also creating more opportunities to secure a job in a vital profession, she said.

“The plan is to build a pathway from the high school straight to the university, and the goal is to increase diversity within the nursing workforce,” said Sanders. “The plan is also to engage students at an early age in nursing … [and] Health Sciences in general. We do a lot of the foundational nursing skills at this age, and throughout their high school years.”

While the basics of the nursing profession are important, she said much more is being taught to the 19 freshman students enrolled in this course of study.

“We talk about how to communicate. We talk about finding resolutions and problem solving. … Just learning life skills. I think that’s important,” said Sanders, who earned a Master of Nursing Education degree from UAB in 2018. She comes to Huffman for one hour three days a week to work with students in the program.

Pathway to Professional Nursing students have an opportunity to take advanced and dual-enrollment classes, visit the UAB campus on a scheduled basis, and participate in summer enrichment activities.

They also are trained and certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), equipping them with the skills to administer life-saving assistance to someone whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped. And they are prepared to take the Patient Care Technician certification exam upon graduation.

Sanders has seen some students who previously struggled with attendance not miss a single class while working with the nursing program. What’s even more remarkable, she said, is the way the program helps students overcome learning obstacles.

“Their education piece is difficult,” Sanders said. “There’s a lot of math. There’s a lot of science. When you have students that are coming from difficult backgrounds … [and they have] an opportunity to be exposed to some things earlier, I think that gives [them] a better chance of being successful.”

Taliyah Merritt, another ninth grader in the Pathway to Professional Nursing program, said her mother, who’s a nurse, served as her inspiration.

“I knew I wanted to be a nurse when, whenever I was at home and my mom came home from work, she talked about her days at work and all the different things that she did,” said the student.

But her motivation goes even deeper: “Every day, you get to go home and reflect and think about how many people you’ve helped,” said Merritt.

A Veteran’s Perspective

Deborah Thedford-Zimmerman is the current historian of Birmingham Black Nurses Association, Inc., and one of the organization’s past presidents. She’s also the coordinator of Birmingham Black Nurses leadership and knows the importance of introducing students to the profession.

“As mature nurses, we need to help mold and shape the younger nurses,” said Thedford-Zimmerman. “We need to talk to them just to let them know that we are there to support them, so that we may be able to help alleviate the disparity in the workforce because there are not enough nurses to help our communities.”

She added that programs like the nursing curriculum at Huffman High School “are needed for our students.”

Progressing Forward

Working with BCS has been a fulfilling partnership, Sanders said. “It’s our way of giving back to this community, … which is a big part of not just the hospital but the university itself. … The [UAB] School of Nursing is lucky to be part of that,” she said.

BCS Superintendent Sullivan said, while he’s proud that the program at Huffman High School is building a “pipeline” of nurses to combat an industry shortage, he’s also excited about why students are participating.

During a recent program at Huffman, the superintendent said, “I was listening to one of the students talk about why she wants to be a nurse, and it’s just heartwarming to see the commitment these students have at such a young age to really give back to their community.”

Stricter school discipline making a comeback in Australian classrooms

The national framework aims to stamp out disruptive behaviour by giving teachers skills to deal with even the most difficult students.

Stricter school discipline is making a comeback to Australian classrooms in a bid to help teachers stamp out disruptive behaviour.

New guidelines are being rolled out to schools nationally to give teachers skills to set high expectations and implement rules on how students should behave.

Students will be encouraged to practise “super walking”, where they walk in single file around their school. And their desks will be lined in a row facing teachers.

The framework was created by the Australian Education Research Organisation, which found teachers and principals spent about 20 per cent of their day dealing with disruptions, equating to about one day per week.

Their research showed schools that adopted a behavioural type curriculum created an environment where students felt safe and were met with routine by imposing rules and expectations that ultimately supported them to learn.

AERO program director Sarah Richardson said the guidelines gave teachers evidence-based strategies that had been proven in the classroom.

She said setting high expectations and clear rules on how students should behave allowed teachers to better manage classrooms so all students could learn.

“From a teacher’s perspective they don’t feel as prepared as they could be and school leaders are spending time on managing behaviour rather than focusing on other important tasks,” she said.

“It is extreme behaviour that often makes the headlines, but it is behaviour such as calling out, constant chatting while teachers are trying to teach and students not listening that is more of a disruption that teachers have to deal with.

“What teachers needed were guidelines and frameworks, what was missing was a how to, a five-step approach to develop skills and minimise disruption so it allowed more time for learning.”

The framework has been introduced off the back of a Senate inquiry into the increasing disruption in Australian classrooms.

An interim report found disruptive behaviour in classrooms was an increasing concern for many teachers.

University of NSW professor Rebecca Collie said in the report that teacher working conditions — including demands, such as disruptive student behaviour — appeared to be getting worse over time.

“My colleagues and I identified that 34 per cent of teachers could be considered struggling at work due to their experiences of poor working conditions, including heightened levels of disruptive student behaviour that make it difficult to teach effectively,” she said.

“Similarly, the Australian Education Research Organisation noted that dealing with misbehaviour has been a concern for teachers for some time.”

It is hoped a national framework will help teachers and schools feel better equipped to manage disruptive behaviour at schools. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Sarah Marshall

The report found teachers were subject to verbal and physical abuse form students and parents, which had to led to physical injuries, stress and anxiety.

Some of the abuse teachers experienced included being assaulted, having furniture thrown at them, property damaged, windows being punched in, harassment, cars keyed and wallets stolen.

The Monash University Faculty of Education explained in the report that disorderly classrooms could leave teachers feeling unsupported in managing these challenging situations.

Senator Matt O’Sullivan, who led the Senate inquiry, said introducing a behavioural curriculum into schools was about setting standards and giving teachers the right skills to manage behaviour.

Liberal Senator Matt O'Sullivan said introducing a behavioural curriculum into schools was about setting standards. Picture Gary Ramage

He said there were some schools that had already adopted a behavioural curriculum, including Chalice Primary School in WA and Marsden Road in Liverpool.

He said what was interesting about Marsden Rd was that English was a second language to 70 per cent of students.

“The kids are respectful and well behaved, everyone had told the school principal that parents wouldn’t engage with the school when it implemented community outreach programs to parents,” he said.

“Six years on the school is now a big part of that community.”

Chalice Primary School in the Perth suburb of Armadale have a child health nurse based at the school, which begins engaging with mother’s when they are pregnant,

“The school adopted a whole range of things including explicit instruction and how they engage and how they educate is really important,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“The behaviour curriculum is one element.

“It is not a silver bullet.

“Not every kid is provided with that background and support, while we can install it at school we need to make sure teachers are properly resourced and that we back them up.

“It is about respect, respect for each other and authority has to be modelled and has to be taught.”

Two students have left a prestigious private school after being found with drugs while attending a school camp.

Some of the country’s most elite schools are butting heads with parents over the resurgence of the “filthy” mullet haircut.

Bailey Cooper died on Sunday after being relentlessly bullied for seven years. Her mother has now called for change.

New federal rule bars transgender school bathroom bans, but it likely isn’t the final word

Copy Link copied

A new rule from President Joe Biden’s administration blocking blanket policies to keep transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity could conflict with laws in Republican-controlled states.

The clash over bathroom policy and other elements of a federal regulation finalized last week could set the stage for another wave of legal battles over how transgender kids should be treated in the U.S.

In recent years, transgender people have gained visibility and acceptance in the U.S. — and some conservative officials have pushed back.

Most GOP-controlled states now have laws reining in their rights. Measures include laws to keep transgender girls out of girls school sports, limiting which school bathrooms transgender people can use, requiring school staff to notify parents if their student identifies in school as transgender, and barring school staff from being required to use the pronouns a transgender student uses.

Most of those policies have been challenged in court.

Here’s a look at the new regulation, the states’ laws and what could happen next.

WHAT’S THE HEART OF THE REGULATION?

The 1,577-page regulation finalized last week seeks to clarify Title IX, the 1972 sex discrimination law originally passed to address women’s rights and applies to schools and colleges that receive federal money.

The regulations, which are to take effect in August, spell out that Title IX bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, too.

Many Republicans say this wasn’t the intent of the law.

The new rules also provide more protections to students who make accusations of sexual misconduct.

RULE CONTRADICTS BATHROOM LAWS

At least 11 states have adopted laws barring transgender girls and women from using girls’ and women’s bathrooms at public schools.

The new regulation opposes those sweeping policies.

It states that sex separation at schools isn’t always unlawful. However, the separation becomes a violation of Title IX’s nondiscrimination rule when it causes more than a very minor harm on a protected individual, “such as when it denies a transgender student access to a sex-separate facility or activity consistent with that student’s gender identity.”

The laws are in effect in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee. A judge’s order putting enforcement on hold is in place in Idaho. A prohibition in Utah is scheduled to take effect July 1.

RULE ALLOWS PARENTAL NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

At least seven states have laws or other policies calling for schools to notify parents if their children are transgender.

The regulation seems to authorize those requirements, stating that “nothing in these final regulations prevents a recipient from disclosing information about a minor child to their parent who has the legal right to receive disclosures on behalf of their child.”

The requirements are already law in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana and North Carolina. The Arizona law requires schools to provide information to parents but does not specifically include details about students’ gender expression or sexuality. Virginia asked schools to provide guidance to the state’s school districts to adopt similar policies, though they’re not written into state law.

ARE PRONOUN RESTRICTIONS LEGAL? IT DEPENDS

At least four states — Florida, Kentucky, Montana and North Dakota — have laws intended to protect from discipline teachers and/or students who won’t use the pronouns transgender or nonbinary students use.

The regulations wrestle with this, finding that “harassing a student — including acts of verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on the student’s nonconformity with stereotypical notions of masculinity and femininity or gender identity — can constitute discrimination on the basis of sex under Title IX in certain circumstances.”

But they also spell out that “a stray remark” does not constitute harassment and seek to protect the right of free speech.

THE BIG DEBATE: SPORTS PARTICIPATION

The new rules don’t specifically mention whether states can ban transgender girls from girls sports competitions. The Biden administration has put on hold a policy that would forbid schools from having outright bans.

State laws that contain such bans have been adopted in at least two dozen states in the name of preserving girls sports. But judges have paused enforcement of some of them, including in a ruling last week that applies only to one teenage athlete in West Virginia.

While the new rules are not specific to sports participation, advocates on both sides believe they could apply.

“They may be saying that this doesn’t address it, but through the broad language they’re using, the ultimate result is you have to allow a boy on a girls team,” said Matt Sharp, a lawyer with Alliance Defending Freedom, falsely identifying transgender girls as boys. Alliance Defending Freedom is a conservative group that has represented female athletes challenging sports participation by transgender women and girls.

“This document gives a good sense that says you can’t have a rule that says, ‘If you’re transgender, you can’t participate,’” said Harper Seldin, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Lawsuits, probably.

After the rules were unveiled last week, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti posted on X that “TN is prepared to defend Title IX & protect against unlawful regulations that redefine what sex really means.”

“We absolutely plan to challenge this betrayal of women in court,” Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said in a statement Monday.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond submitted comments critical of the rule before it was finalized.

Over the last two decades, attorneys general have frequently sued the opposing party’s president over rules and executive orders.

Sharp of Alliance Defending Freedom said his group is still dissecting the federal rules but does represent groups that could be affected, including female athletes and religious schools and could sue over aspects of the rules. He expects states to do the same thing.

“I don’t think a lot of states want to wait until the federal government enforces this,” he said.

The ACLU’s Seldin said his organization will watch carefully how the rules play out.

“What do theses laws and regulations mean in terms of transgender youth and transgender students who find themselves attacked in every aspect of their lives?” he asked.
