It was in the belief that a summary of the course content of state courses of study in health education would be of value and interest in the light of present trends in curriculum construction that this study was written. The purpose of this investigation was to survey sixteen state courses of study compiled by their respective state education departments, to determine the details of content considered most essential in health education at the high school level.

This is a quasi experimental study, evaluating the teaching methods of a CPR training program conducted in a rural high school on 161 students. Students were divided into three experimental groups, varying the days and instructor/student ratios in order to determine the most effective teaching methods.Two hypotheses were generated to be tested through use of instruments developed by the American Red Cross. The first hypothesis was supported--lengthening instruction time does improve performance levels in basic life support. The second hypothesis was rejected--increasing instructor ratio per student groups does not improve performance levels in basic life support. In addition, the number of days over which the course was taught was a more influential variable than instructor/student ratios.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306

Adolescents from nine intact health classes from two high schools participated either in a traditional lecturebased alcohol prevention intervention or a nontraditional experiential-based intervention. The nontraditional intervention focussed on attitudes toward drinking and the misperceptions associated with alcohol consumption norms. Subjects completed several self-report measures on attitudes toward drinking (own, perceived friends', and perceived school's), perceived ranking of alcohol consumption compared to closest friends and compared to the school, intent to drink, and actual reporting of alcohol consumption. For the nontraditional intervention, it was hypothesized that students would change their perceptions of others' attitudes toward drinking and their perception of the norm enough to decrease their alcohol consumption. Results indicated the intervention changed the perceived attitude of the school, but not enough to significantly change consumption levels. These findings confirm that misperceptions occur and that they influence alcohol consumption. / Department of Psychological Science
