Abstract
This paper describes different health education philosophies as well as the author's own health education philosophy and how and why she arrived at such a philosophy. The author emphasizes that her own philosophy on teaching health education is derived from a combination of several teaching philosophies which she believes will promote the knowledge and skills necessary for her students, their families and the community to achieve a better quality of life.
From the Paper
"Our profession is at a critical stage of self-evaluation, of which philosophical inquiry is a key element. Answers to the questions of what health education is and how one accomplishes this will determine the place of health education now and in the future. (Welle, Russell, & Kittleson, 1995) My initial reaction while reading the Welle et al article, was that there seems to be a need to define a single philosophy for the credibility and effectiveness of health education in general. After some thought, however, my focus shifted. Since such a wide variety of settings, audiences and issues exist; a single philosophy of health education would not be beneficial or even possible. It makes sense that there were significant oppositional views when it came to the study participants' philosophical choices, given their differences in educational settings."

"The comprehension of concepts is key in health education, especially in an evidence-based field such as health. However, opportunities for this type of professional development are demanding on time and resources, particularly busy academic institutions. Banning (2005), in a qualitative study, found that different levels of evidence were utilized according to one's appreciation of them, suggesting that prior training in the use of these resources for continuing education can influence users' perceptions and appreciation of evidence-based practice."

Mental Health and Physical Health, 2005.
Discusses the reasoning behind two beliefs - whether or not mental health should be treated on par with physical health.

Abstract
There are two arguments regarding the treatment of mental health. Some believe that it should receive the same amount of health care coverage as physical illness, while others argue that the costs of treating mental illness could lead to severe problems. To better understand these arguments, this paper examines two articles, "Mental Health Should be Treated on Par with Physical Health," by Lewis L. Judd, and "Mental Health Should Not be treated on Par with Physical Health," by Richard E. Vatz, as well as two of their reference sources.
From the Paper
"Martin Bobgan and Deidre Bobgan, the writers of an article titled, "Mental Illness is not a Disease" would probably agree that spending money on mental illness, and treating it equally to physical illness would be a lost cause. Although their opinion is much more drastic than that of Richard Vatz, all three writers would probably seem to agree that covering mental illness in insurance coverage would not be helpful to society. In the article, Mental Illness is not a Disease," Martin and Deidre Bobgan profess that people "continue to promote the false concept of mental illness, to align it with medicine, and consign it to science." It is apparent that these writers believe that the mental state and one's physical well-being fall into completely different categories."

From the Paper
"Patient and family education is an integral part of quality care. Providing it is a responsibility shared by all care professionals who interact with a patient and with family members. Teaching patients can be the most challenging as well as the most rewarding aspect of care. Understanding the patient's religious and cultural background is an important consideration when providing health education to the Lok family. In order to determine the family's cultural status and understand its forced migration, I must be open-minded, show respect for beliefs that differ from my own, and avoid making assumptions or stereotyping. In educating the Lok family, it is essential to understand Chinese culture. China is a country of multiple faiths, with a large segment of the pop..."

Why Schools Must Play a Significant Role in Youth Drug Education
As the primary social institution for most developing children, schools can have a significant impact on adolescent health behavior and can play an essential role in adolescent health promotion. Schools serve all children regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or health insurance status; thus, they are a logical place to provide coordinated health education and health services to a nation's children

Mandatory Drug Education Week in The United States--
Why Schools Must Play a Significant Role in Youth Drug Education
As the primary social institution for most developing children, schools can have a significant impact on adolescent health behavior and can play an essential role in adolescent health promotion. Schools serve all children regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or health insurance status; thus, they are a logical place to provide coordinated health education and health services to a nation's children (DHHS, 1991, p. 434). A successful drug education program requires intense, interactive skills training to provide students with the long-term ability to resist using drugs. A mandatory drug education week with curriculum-specified follow-up throughout the school year is ..."

Abstract
While emphasizing the need for further studies on this subject, this paper presents an overview of physical education in public schools and provides insight into the growing concern about the need to upgrade the subject so that it encompasses not just physical activity, but health education as well.
From the Paper
"If the problems begin so early in childhood, even before formal education and standards of measurements are undertaken, what can or should be done to encourage physical activity, and a sort of physical ed. without a Phys. Ed. "teacher"? It becomes a family enterprise, according to many health experts, since achieving a minimum standard of fitness at any age is not an over-night occurrence. " A 1988 study by the Melpomene Institute showed that one of the three most important influences on a child's involvement in exercise and physical activity is the time parents spend doing these things with the child." Few parents have, or take, the time to do that. There may be nearby playgrounds, or excursions to parks (in a car, of course) but most families do not work on a strict physical activities schedule. And so, as the child grows and is ready for pre-school and then elementary school, most parents let school authorities regulate curricula."

"The fact is that within that new health care system we are still impacted by issues of nursing migration, nursing retirement and globalization that will not cease to affect the process of nursing or the delivery of care without policies that are intended to provide positive results. One such policy is Senate Bill 2529 that gives us the opportunity at this time to mold our nursing professionals through education and not only ensure that they have the ability of universally achieving goals in health care delivery, but that they are the most knowledgeable and skilled nurses throughout the world."

Comprehensive Sexual Education, 2009.
This paper looks at the need for comprehensive sexual education in the United States.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that sex education became a traditional part of the middle school and high school curriculum in the middle of the 20th century. The writer points out that in the last 50 years, social attitudes and American cultural beliefs about human sexuality have changed significantly but, for the most part, sexual education has not evolved simultaneously, except perhaps in the modernization of the actual materials and literature used to present the substantive information. The writer maintains that what is required is a more comprehensive approach that reflects the realities of all the fundamental issues that arise in connection with human sexuality and behavioral choices associated with it. The writer concludes that a comprehensive sexual education program could radically transform sexual education in American education from a meaningless exercise in student embarrassment and an ineffective presentation of certain useful reproductive health and medical information into a beneficial mechanism for changing specific illogical beliefs and cultural values that undermine human happiness.
Outline:
Introduction
The Insufficiencies of Traditional Sexual Education
Outlining Comprehensive Sexual Education
Teaching Sexual Ethics
Conclusion
From the Paper
"By initiating Sex Ed in middle school, educators have the opportunity to address common cultural attitudes and beliefs about sexuality in principle, thereby providing alternatives to various elements of typical approaches to sexual gratification including objective ethical values, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, safer sex practices, and unplanned pregnancy. Comprehensive Sex Ed would likely require no additional funds or resources except to the extent it requires changing the way educators are trained and replacing old literature with updated teaching texts. The non-printed materials already used in connection with traditional Sex Ed programs is still sufficient for that portion of a comprehensive educational program appropriately devoted to human anatomy and biological reproduction."
