Roundtable
How to Make Health Education Work
The speakers in this session will describe various health promotion interventions, including several that focus on middle-school-aged children. Presentations will detail planning and development strategies but will also describe results of studies of prevalence of risky behaviors. Two of the presentations in this roundtable session will focus on the important issue of health literacy and its implications for health education and health promotion.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  1. Describe research focusing on risky behaviors and involvement in physical activity among middle-school aged children;
  2. Explain the current status and implications for health promotion of health literacy in America; and
  3. Discuss strategies for improving community partner satisfaction with community-academic institution collaboration.
