“…The literature regarding behavioral change in this group was reviewed for the Select Panel on the Promotion of Child Health by Mullen (131,132), for schools by Iverson & Kolbe (72) and Kolbe (88), Kreuter & Christianson (93), and in general by Bruhn & Parcel (23). Some recent evaluations (27,42,63,67,82,110,122,127,142,148,151,174,183) and meta-evaluations (39,52,69,71,104,141,157,159,168; L. J. Kolbe, in preparation) of school health educa tion are more encouraging than earlier reports (cf 84,160,190). Programs, t"""…”

“…Multiple smoking prevention programs for adolescents with different approaches, content, and mode of delivery have been proposed, but the evidence of their effectiveness is largely inconclusive 5 . Early education interventions in youth tobacco control were based on the ‘information deficit or rationale model’, in which the program provided information about the health risks and negative consequences of tobacco, mostly in a manner intended to arouse concern and fear 6 . Social learning theory suggests that adolescent smoking is a learned behavior acquired through social interactions and reinforcement 7 , and the sociopsychological strategy of deterrence is based on preventing children from starting to smoke 8 .…”

INTRODUCTION The study aimed to assess the impact of a new intervention proposal involving students, teachers, and parents on smoking prevalence in secondary school adolescents. METHODS A quasi-experimental study was conducted, in which the response to a preventive multi-personal intervention model (intervention) against tobacco consumption was compared with a standard anti-smoking activity carried out by the local government administration (control). The study was carried out during the 2017–2018 academic year. The study population included 306 students (intervention 151, control 155) with a mean age of 13.4 years. The model involved the parents, the students (aged 15–17 years), and the teachers. The primary outcome was the change in smoking status one year after the intervention. RESULTS The percentage of non-smokers increased from 84.1% to 88.7% in the intervention group and remained almost unchanged among controls (89.3% vs 89.9%). After one year, there was an increase in the prevalence of non-smokers of 4.6% and a decrease in the prevalence of smokers of 4.7% among students who received the multi-personal intervention, whereas changes among controls were almost negligible (there was in fact a slight increase in the prevalence of smokers of 0.9%). The students who received the intervention smoked less or quit smoking more than those in the control group (OR=0.135; 95% CI: 0.019–0.973, p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS The multi-personal model developed in the study with the participation of teachers and parents focused on students was feasible, and effectively reduced the prevalence of smoking among high school adolescents.

“…All 12 studies reported statistically signifi cant knowledge gains upon completion of the SHCP. School health education programs have also been shown to be effective in increasing student knowledge with programs focused on cardiovascular disease and its associated risk factors (3-7), issues of human sexuality (8-10), drug and alcohol usage (11,12), cigarette smoking (13-15), respiratory problems (16), and human nutrition (17,18). This list of topics and references is far from exhaustive, but it is representative of the results reported from recent studies of various school health education programs.…”

INTRODUCTIONIn this review we assess the recent developments in research and practice pertaining to health education in schools. We begin by defining school health education within the broader framework of community health edu cation and promotion. The shifting priorities, purposes, and assumptions of school health education are traced and attributed. They lead to a new generation of problems and methods that call for a concentration of re search on ways to combine the classroom contributions of health education with the broader organizational, economic, and environmental supports that will predispose, enable, and reinforce behavior conducive to health.
