PROBLEM/CONDITION: School health education (e.g., classroom instruction) is an essential component of school health programs; such education promotes the health of youth and improves overall public health.
February-May 1998.
The School Health Education Profiles monitor characteristics of health education in middle or junior high schools and senior high schools in the United States. The Profiles are school-based surveys conducted by state and local education agencies. This report summarizes results from 36 state surveys and 10 local surveys conducted among representative samples of school principals and lead health education teachers. The lead health education teacher coordinates health education policies and programs within a middle/junior high school or senior high school.
During the study period, most schools in states and cities that conducted Profiles required health education in grades 6-12. Of these, a median of 91.0% of schools in states and 86.2% of schools in cities taught a separate health education course. The median percentage of schools in each state and city that tried to increase student knowledge in selected topics (i.e., prevention of tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, violence, or suicide; dietary behaviors and nutrition; and physical activity and fitness) was >73% for each of these topics. The median percentage of schools with a health education teacher who coordinated health education was 38.7% across states and 37.6% across cities. A median of 41.8% of schools across states and a median of 31.0% of schools across cities had a lead health education teacher with professional preparation in health and physical education, whereas a median of 6.0% of schools across states and a median of 5.5% of schools across cities had a lead health education teacher with professional preparation in health education only. A median of 19.3% of schools across states and 21.2% of schools across cities had a school health advisory council. The median percentage of schools with a written school or school district policy on HIV-infected students or school staff members was 69.7% across states and 84.4% across cities.
Many middle/junior high schools and senior high schools require health education to help provide students with knowledge and skills needed for adoption of a healthy lifestyle. However, these schools might not be covering all important topic areas or skills sufficiently. The number of lead health education teachers who are academically prepared in health education and the number of schools with school health advisory councils needs to increase.
The Profiles data are used by state and local education officials to improve school health education.
问题/状况：学校健康教育（如课堂教学）是学校健康计划的重要组成部分；此类教育可促进青少年健康并改善整体公众健康。
1998年2月至5月。
学校健康教育概况监测美国初中和高中健康教育的特征。这些概况是由州和地方教育机构开展的基于学校的调查。本报告总结了对学校校长和健康教育主任教师代表性样本进行的36项州级调查和10项地方调查的结果。健康教育主任教师负责协调初中或高中内的健康教育政策和计划。
在研究期间，开展概况调查的州和城市中的大多数学校要求6 - 12年级进行健康教育。其中，州内学校中位数为91.0%，城市学校中位数为86.2%开设单独的健康教育课程。每个州和城市中试图增加学生在选定主题（即预防烟草使用、酒精和其他药物使用、怀孕、人类免疫缺陷病毒[HIV]感染、其他性传播疾病、暴力或自杀；饮食行为和营养；以及体育活动和健身）方面知识的学校百分比中位数在每个主题上均>73%。有健康教育教师协调健康教育的学校百分比中位数在各州为38.7%，在各城市为37.6%。各州学校中位数为41.8%，各城市学校中位数为31.0%有具备健康与体育专业资质的健康教育主任教师，而各州学校中位数为6.0%，各城市学校中位数为5.5%有仅具备健康教育专业资质的健康教育主任教师。各州学校中位数为19.3%，各城市学校中位数为21.2%设有学校健康咨询委员会。针对感染HIV的学生或学校工作人员制定书面学校或学区政策的学校百分比中位数在各州为69.7%，在各城市为84.4%。
许多初中和高中要求进行健康教育，以帮助学生获得采用健康生活方式所需的知识和技能。然而，这些学校可能未充分涵盖所有重要主题领域或技能。具备健康教育专业资质的健康教育主任教师数量以及设有学校健康咨询委员会的学校数量需要增加。
概况调查数据被州和地方教育官员用于改善学校健康教育。
