Quality of Health Education Teacher Preparation Program Curricula Throughout the United States
BACKGROUND: Undergraduate majors in education, specifically in school health education (HE), have declined considerably in the United States. Reductions in state and federal funding for K-12 public education and increased demands on educators to prioritize standardized academic outcomes versus focusing on the whole child encompass many factors leading to fewer qualified teachers and reduced quality of HE delivery within schools. METHODS: A conten…

Distinguishing Between Health Education and Health Information Dissemination
Wong and Higgins' article illustrates innovative ways nontraditional public health providers such as park rangers are connecting with consumers on health issues.1 Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Action Communities for Health, Innovation, and EnVironmental ChangE (ACHIEVE) program works with the National Recreation and Park Association and other groups to promote physical activity and reduce chronic disease risks.2 Such…
Eliminating Health Disparities: Focal Points for Advocacy and Intervention
We applaud the Journal’s October 2003 focus on eliminating health disparities and the University of Pittsburgh’s National Minority Health Research Summit. Efforts to reduce inequalities need to be derived from multiple sources. Two recent publications about the challenges of achieving equality for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Latino peoples show the failings of our past approaches.1,2 The National Institutes of Health’s National Center o…
Making the Grade in Public Health Advocacy
We are pleased that public health advocacy was the theme of the August 2003 issue of the Journal. However, we find that several areas need further emphasis. As noted by Avery and Bashir, speaking truth to power is a right and “the advocate takes this right and makes it her duty.”1(pp1208, 1209) All public health professionals should be engaged in public policy reform. Yet the draft of the Public Health Professional’s Oath promulgated by APHA (and…

We thank Ellery for her comments on our article. Nineteen of the 25 members of our consensus panel were currently-employed public health educators in local, state, and federal health agencies. We agree that the issue of responsibility for the continuing education needs of health educators is an important one. As we pointed out, it will require both cooperation and investments on the part of professional associations, universities, government, and…
