Subject: YRBS as an impact instrument?
** The New Issue of IEJHE is here:
** http://www.iejhe.siu.edu
Anyone out there using the YRBS as an impact instrument?
If used, can the YRBS measure the impact of the health instruction piece
of the Coordinated School Health (CSH) model. Can it measure the impact
of each or any of the components of CSH?
I know I'm revisiting some of this, but I believe it's worthy of
discussion. I am also interested in a collaborative study of this issue
(I am working with some sites now).
Here are some other dilemmas I am pondering:
a) do health behaviors change as a result of health instruction and over
what period of time? We know that knowledge, attitudes, and skills
change. Didn't Gold, et al, show intended behaviors change (drugs, tobacco?)?
b) What "Dose level" is "necessary?" I am aware of the "50 hours" or
more tenet, or can "health education provided by nurses in the clinic"
be considered a "dose?" Could the YRBS be used to compare the two,
albeit different, "doses?" Any words of wisdom on this?
c) do health behaviors change as a result of health services, an
improvement in school climate and its physical well being, etc. Is it
additive; add health services to instruction and you get better results,
then add counseling services and you get even better health behavior
results, etc. (better = statistically significant).
d) What would a "dose" level be in health services? We know that hours
of instruction could be considered a "dose level" (variable) in health
instruction (however, see below). Do we know what is considered
adequate, or extraordinary health care services to children and youth?
If a nurse is offering services in a school based health center, is
adding a social worker to provide services better? Are there categories
for comparison?
e) Anyone have experience measuring impact (health behaviors) or
outcomes (health status) in regards to any of the components or
combinations of components of Coordinated School Health?
f) Anyone have any ideas on how we can measure these things and
attribute the component, in correlations at least (I guess), to the
health behavior change? In other words, with all the things that a
school is involved with, and all the different ways health instruction
can be delivered, for example, should I even bother to try to clear a
path to suggest that a particular health instruction program made a
difference? Even more complicated is the question: which health
instructional program has the greatest impact? One that uses a research
based curriculum with fidelity and prescribed hours of coverage, or one
that uses pieces of some for 50 or more hours, with, for example, an
occasional visit from the nurse covering topics such as washing hands?
Should I even go there?
g) Any other issues regarding YRBS, behavior change, and CSH components? (whew)
Anyone familiar or have experience with "Results Mapping" and can help
me apply it to, or part of, this measurement dilemma?
[Data from a school district, which has adopted a CSH model, is
presented on
http://www.healthbehavior.com/SchoolHealthPresentation%20folder/SchoolHealthindex.htm.
While there is no YRBS data, yet, the fact that ACT scores are going
up, reading levels being reached, discipline problems are dropping,
suspensions suspended, etc., something is/are causing the impact and
outcomes. The question: Is it health services? Is it the "Healthy and
Safe School Environment" changes? Is it the whole model? etc.]

Subject: AOD Athletic Policy
** The New Issue of IEJHE is here:
** http://www.iejhe.siu.edu
Hi. The Athletic Department at Alfred University is currently drafting a policy regarding alcohol
and other drug use specifically for student athletes and
student athletic trainers. As the Coordinator of AOD, I was asked to revise
the policy and help with the "sanctions" a student would recieve after a
"strike". The policy is based on a "three strike" system, with a strike
being defined as an incident that reaches the media, being found guilty in a
legal matter, or going against the athletic policy in general. All strikes
are erased after a one year (365) day period from the date of the last
infraction.
The penalties for each infraction are as follow:
(drafted by myself and the Director of the Caounseling Center on campus)
Strike One: A three hour alcohol education class, five hours of community
service, and an assessment for potential AOD abuse problems
Strike Two: Ten hours of community service, and an in depth evaluation for
AOD abuse/dependence with a counselor from the Counseling Center
on campus
Strike Three: Immediate suspension from the team for 365 days frm the date of
the infraction
Now the sanctions as drafted by the head Athletic trainer and coaches:
Strike One: An assessment with the AOD Coordinator
Strike Two: An evaluation with a counselor for alcohol and other drug abuse and dependence
Strike Three; Suspension fom the team for 365 days
My questio is what is the best way to go about this from a public health and
prevention perspective? Has anyone else had experience with building a
policy from the ground up and having to develop the sanctions? We are on
the right track, but education is being left out of it because the athletic
staff feels that the three hour class is "too harsh". THe three hour class and
community service is what any other student on campus would get for an alcohol
infraction.
Can anyone give me a different perspective that I hadn't considered? Any
feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

** The New Issue of IEJHE is here:

The CDC's Research to Classroom project identifies
curricular programs ("Programs that Work")
that did result in changes in
behavior, so yes, it can happen. Fact sheets about
those programs can be found on www.edc.org/NTP
The article by Kirby, et.al. in Pub Health Reports, 1994
indicated that in research published to date regarding
sexuality programs, when health services found
behavioral differences, there was a strong education component.
You might want to look at references cited in Health is Academic.
Also, ASHA's new publication School Health:
Findings from Evaluated Programs, 2nd edition, gives
a description of 54 school-based programs related to one
or more component of a coordinated school health program
that have gone some type of evaluation study. The book also
gives a description of the research study and findings,
along with a citation for the published research.

The Midwest Intensive Bioethics Course 1999
Conflict and Community:
Culture and Ethical Decision Making in Health Care
A Basic Course in Bioethics
July 15 - 17, 1999
Chicago, IL
Interested in an intensive educational experience in biomedical ethics
that's practical but stimulating? If so, the MIBC is the course for you.
This program will explore the basic issues that are on the minds of
frontline health-care professionals: questions about the process of
informed consent, end-of-life decision making, and organizational
ethics. These are the issues but our main theme will be the way that
cultural understandings and presuppositions underlying the issues,
contribute to ethical conflicts in the clinical setting. Case
discussion, history, and literature will be used to illuminate the
ethical problems of health-care delivery in our multi-cultural,
pluralistic society.
Who Attends the MIBC?
The MIBC serves the health-care community by providing experience in
bioethics and medical humanities to health-care professionals whose
commitments prevent them from obtaining more traditional forms of
bioethics education.
Who's Sponsoring The Program?
The MIBC will be hosted by Northwestern University Medical School in
downtown Chicago, and is also sponsored by the Center for the Study of
Bioethics at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), the University of
Minnesota Center for Bioethics, and the Program in Medical Ethics of the
University of Wisconsin. Faculty include Dianne Bartels, Cynthia
Brincat, Tod Chambers, Art Derse, Carl Elliott, Norm Fost, Joel Frader,
Kathryn Montgomery, Mark Kuczewski, and Skip Nelson.
Can I Get Continuing Education Credits for Participation? Sure!
Accreditation:
The Medical College of Wisconsin is accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education to sponsor continuing education
for physicians. The Medical College of Wisconsin designates this
continuing medical education activity for up to 12 hours in Category 1
of the Physicians Recognition Award of the American Medical
Association. Each physician should claim only those hours he/she
actually spent in the activity.
The Medical College of Wisconsin designates this activity for 12 contact
hours of continuing education for allied health professionals and
psychologists.
The Medical College of Wisconsin is approved by the American
Psychological Association to offer continuing education for
psychologists. The Medical College of Wisconsin maintains
responsibility for the Program.
Application has been made to Wisconsin Nurses Association-Continuing
Education Approval Program for approval of contact hours.
The Program
The program will involve 3 sessions each day. The first session of the
day, will be a large group plenary session on a basic topic in
biomedical ethics. These sessions will explore these clinical issues by
establishing terminology and outlining frameworks in which to discuss
these matters. The plenary sessions are ideal for addressing the basic
needs of health-care professionals and their institutions. The second
session each day will be a discussion that illustrates and analyzes how
cultural beliefs and religious world-views may pose challenges for
patients and health-care professionals. These discussions will draw upon
common clinical cases.
The third session of each day will be an "interest group." Participants
will enroll in one interest group for the week and are treated to a
three-day mini-course in that specialty. There are presently interest
groups forming to consider Literature & Medicine, Law & Public Policy,
Ethical Issues in Pediatric Care, and Ethics Committees across the
Spectrum of Care.
At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:
1. identify and analyze common ethical issues in health care including
problems of informed consent, end-of-life care, and organizational
ethics
2. identify ways that cultural and religious belief systems can
influence moral conflicts or contribute to misunderstandings
3. develop strategies for facilitating communication and negotiating
moral conflicts

Hello!
With all the computer viruses scurrying over the Internet, I hesitate to
open anything I don't recognize. Is this Isabel Burk or some other
recognizable member of the HEDIR list? Did you really send this? And, even
if it will spoil the fun, what is it?
As we used to say on AIDS prevention projects in Francophone Africa,
"Confience d'accord, mais Prudence d'abord" (confidence/trust-sure, but
prudence first! Prudence was also the name of the condom.) By the way,
there's a great song with these lyrics, "CIDA dans la Cite" by Alpha Blondie
from the Ivory Coast.
Thanks, Tamara

Good point that Tamara has asked...first, Isabel is a long-time HEDIR
member...one who can be trusted. Second, and more importantly, viewing
something on the www is not going to cause any virus from entering your
system. The real fears that you have to deal with are attachments. Even
if you get an attachment, as long as it is not opened you are safe. If you
are unsure, delete the "attached" article, and if you use windows 95 or 98,
then go to your recycling bin and empty that file.
Many computer systems come with a virus checker...if you don't have one, it
might be wise to obtain one.

Friends and Fellows,
I know we all must be saddened greatly by the grim images of the
hundreds of thousands of refugees we see in the hourly CNN reports on
Bosnia, Croatia, and Macedonia. What more can be said about the bruised
and battered faces of three American GI's?
I can only hope that there rings truth in James Baldwin's statement
regarding the conscience of the oppressor:
"It is a terrible, inexorable law that one can not deny the humanity of
another without diminishing one's own: in the face of one's victim one
sees oneself."

Hi all, I'm sorry about the "header". I did send this, it's a good story
about being careful what coaches recommend to athletes. Many of you know
about my interest in herbals/supplements, and I'm concerrned about
school-related personnel recommending anything to students beyond
diet/exercise. Good article. Happy holidays, all!

** The New Issue of IEJHE is here:
** http://www.iejhe.siu.edu
This message is most meaningful to those in the middle part of the east coast.
Please consider this an invitation to meet and hear Dr. Lee Green as he
delivers our second invited address in our annual Healthy People Lecture
Series. The UNCW Healthy People Lecture Series is an annual series of
lectures delivered by nationally recognized leaders in health and wellness
to the UNCW and Wilmington communities. Previous speakers have included
Dr. David Hunnicutt, President of the Wellness Councils of America, Dr.
Mark Kittleson, owner of the worlds largest health education directory, and
Dr. Glen Gilbert, one of the nations leaders in school health education.
Dr. Green, a professor in the Schools of Public Health and Medicine at the
Univ. of Alabama-Birmingham is an eloquent, articulate scholar in the area
of African-Americans and their resistance to health promotion efforts. He
was one of the few Americans invited by President Clinton to be at the
White House at the time of the public apology to the survivors of the
infamous Tuskegee Syphilis study. Dr. Green has met with many of the
Tuskegee Syphilis study survivors, and will offer some keen insights into
the unwillingness of many African-American to heed health advice from
traditional medical institutions. Dr. Green has a special interest area in
cancer indicators among African-Americans. He most recently presented the
lecture "The Tuskegee Syphilis Study Revisited: Effects on Cancer Clinical
Trials" at the Cancer Information Center in Birmingham, Alabama.
A reception is planned in his honor. Please contact me for more information.

** The New Issue of IEJHE is here:

Jones and Bartlett Publishers are proud to announce that the HEDIR
Technology Seminar will be held in conjunction with the Boston AAHE
Convention on Thursday, April 22, 1999 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at the Hynes
Convention Center, Room 308.
The HEDIR Technology Seminar has been created to allow health educators to
demonstrate creative uses of technology in their teachings. As you may
recall, the call for abstracts took place earlier this year and a panel of
university health educators blindly reviewed and selected six submissions
for presentation. Each presenter will illustrate their application and will
be able to answer questions from the audience. In addition, each presenter
will have their program available on the Jones and Bartlett Publishers Web
Page.
This is event is free and is open to all interested individuals. Because
seating is limited, and to assist in planning this event, it is asked that
you send an e-mail to Mark Kittleson (kittle@siu.edu) no later than April
12th. This will "reserve" a seat in your name. In this e-mail include your
name, mailing address, phone, and fax. An invitation card will then be
mailed to you. We are asking that each individual send a separate e-mail
requesting seating for themselves only.
This should be an exciting seminar. The following is a tentative schedule:

This is a Paid Advertisement from Allyn and Bacon Publishers
=============================================================
Allyn and Bacon Publishers are excited about seven new textbooks that can
have real relevance to those of you in university and college settings.
For more information about any of these textbooks, click onto the URL after
the title of each book. You can also go to the Allyn and Bacon Web
Page...http://www.abacon.com
Principles and Foundations of Health Promotion and Education, 1/e
Randall R. Cottrell, University of Cincinnati; James T. Girvan, Idaho State
University; James F. McKenzie, Ball State University
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205273653.html
Unique from other introductory books, the authors of Principles and
Foundations of Health Promotion and Education provide basic historical,
philosophical, theoretical, and ethical foundations of the profession
without including unnecessary information on health education skills. This
book assumes that students will receive more detailed information on
specific health education skills in advanced courses later in their
professional preparation programs. The text provides the most
comprehensive overview available of the professional settings in which
health promotion and education specialists are employed. Furthermore, it
introduces students to the literature of health education and provides an
extensive overview of the agencies, associations, and organizations
associated with the field.
HealthStyles: Decisions for Living Well (Interactive Edition), 2/e
B. E. Pruitt, Texas A&M University and Jane J. Stein, The Stein Group
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205299962.html
Pruitt and Stein's HealthStyles: Decisions for Living Well (Interactive
Edition), Second Edition, provides students with the perspectives and
information they need to make decisions about personal health.
Incorporating a conceptual perspective, students develop the necessary
skills to lead healthy lives and to be wise health consumers. Skill
development is an integral part of this text and is reinforced throughout.
Health: The Basics, 3/e
Rebecca J. Donatelle, Oregon State University; Lorraine G. Davis,
University of Oregon
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205286801.html
This is a basics version of the successful Access to Health, Fifth Edition,
by Rebecca Donatelle and Lorraine Davis, noted researchers in the field of
Health Education. Health: The Basics emphasizes the essential health
information necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of health
promotion and disease prevention. Similar to Access to Health, this text is
from a behavioral management perspective, providing students with the
practical means of assessing and managing their health behaviors. The
fourth edition maintains its thorough examination of health care in
America and continues such cutting-edge approaches with the inclusion of
more topics addressing gender issues, injury prevention, the role of
community health, prevention strategies, and consumer health.
Access to Health: (Interactive Edition), 5/e
Rebecca J. Donatelle, Oregon State University; Lorraine G. Davis,
University of Oregon
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205293492.html
Donatelle and Davis's Access to Health (Interactive Edition), Fifth
Edition, offers an interactive CD-ROM packaged with the complete textbook.
On this unique CD-ROM, you'll find the full text of the book combined with
more than 200 contextually placed, clickable icons. The icons link users
to video segments, audio clips, activities, practice tests, and, if you
have an Internet connection, to current websites related directly to topics
in the text. Every visit is a new experience!
First Aid for Colleges and Universities, 7/e
Brent Q. Hafen, Keith J. Karren, both of Brigham Young University; Kathryn
J. Frandsen, Novell, Inc.
Using comprehensive but easy-to-understand material, First Aid for Colleges
and Universities presents the most complete information available for a
college-level first-aid course. The text goes beyond elementary
information to give options and encourage the effective improvisation so
important to successful first aid. The text primarily focuses on the most
common accidents and emergencies a first-aider is likely to encounter,
making it practical for the student and extremely useful to the professor.
Step Up to Wellness: A Stage-Based Approach, 1/e
Jan Galen Bishop, Ed. D., Health and Fitness Educator; Steven G. Aldana,
Ph. D., Brigham Young University
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205279708.html
A pioneer in the field of personal wellness, this unique text combines the
most current health and fitness research with the most effective model for
behavior change. Developed by psychologists James Prochaska and Carlo
DiClemente, the stages of change model recognizes that individuals progress
through very distinct stages of change on their way to improved well-being
and that some techniques work better in some stages of change than in others.
Total Fitness: Exercise, Nutrition, and Wellness, 2/e
Scott K. Powers, Stephen L. Dodd, both of University of Florida
http://www.abacon.com/books/ab_0205291201.html
Total Fitness: Exercise, Nutrition, and Wellness weaves together the
concepts of exercise and diet in combination with various wellness
concepts, defining "total fitness." The second edition addresses important
issues such as exercise-related injuries, exercise and the environment, and
exercise for special populations, in addition to covering the primary
concepts of physical fitness and wellness. The text provides a strong
foundation in both exercise physiology and nutrition and includes the
latest research in these areas.
Fitness and Wellness SuperSite
http://www.abacon.com/fitness/
Whether you're a student or an instructor, this is the last stop you'll
need to make on the superhighway for fitness & wellness information and
resources. Links are available for a variety of fitness and wellness
related sites.
Those who are teaching, or are planning to teach any of the above courses
are invited to preview the web pages listed. You can also request an
examination copy directly via the web.

Attention - Health Education Teachers/Supervisors
Participants Needed for Focus Group
on
Internet-Based Health Ed Curriculum
The American Association for Health Education(AAHE) is collaborating
with the development of an Internet based health education curriculum
and website for health education teachers. The curriculum development
process is being managed by an experienced health education publishing
firm. There is a national advisory board for the project is comprised
of representatives from the following organizations:
American Association for Health Education,
American School Health Association,
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development,
American Cancer Society,
Cable in the Classroom
Classroom teachers are needed to participate in a focus group to
evaluate and comment on a health education curriculum that is being
developed for the Internet. The curriculum is being designed to help
classroom teachers meet the National Health Education Standards and will
also be based on the recently released Assessment Framework. In
addition to fully developed K-12 lesson guides, on-line supports will be
available to help teachers understand and apply the national standards
and the skills-based instruction and assessment process. This on-line
resource will be available to teachers and health educators free of
charge.
The curriculum developers are interested in receiving review and
feedback on the concept, design, and content during the development of
this site so that teacher's interests and needs can be accurately
addressed.
A focus group will be held on Wednesday, April 21, 1999, from 2:00 -
3:30 p.m. at the AAHE/AAHPERD Convention in Boston. An honorarium of
$40 will be provided to each participant at the end of the session.
There is no preparation required - we are seeking only your professional
opinion about the product being developed.
If you are willing to participate in the focus group and thereby help
create an effective health instruction tool for teachers world-wide,
please call the number listed below. Ms Anita Davis will be happy to
answer your questions or provide additional references about the
project. She will be selecting the participants and providing the
Convention Center room number for the focus group. Thank you for your
interest.

Calif. Moves to Ban Mood-Enhancement Drug
The California legislature is working towards banning a mood-enhancement
supplement that is popular in San Francisco dance clubs, the San Francisco
Examiner reported April 8.
The ban is being considered after a number of people became seriously ill
after ingesting Blue Nitro or Vitality. The drug is meant to lift a
person's mood, boost their sex life, burn fat and aid in sleep. However,
the liquid supplement can cause comas and blackouts if mixed with alcohol
or other
drugs.
In addition, city, state and federal health officials are concerned that
after Blue Nitro is digested, it changes into another dangerous substance
called gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB. That odorless and taste-free
"date-rape" drug was banned in the state two years ago.
The Assembly Public Safety Committee approved a measure that would ban
gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), an active ingredient in the minty-tasting Blue
Nitro and Vitality. Health officials also have asked stores to voluntarily
pull Blue Nitro and Vitality from their store shelves.
The bill to outlaw elixirs such as Blue Nitro requires a two-thirds
affirmative vote of the legislature and the governor's signature.

Study Says Nine-Year-Olds Involved with Alcohol, Other Drugs
A newly released study shows that some children as young as nine years old
are already involved with drugs and alcohol, according to an April 7 press
release from the National Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education
(PRIDE).
The study also found that the transition from fifth to sixth grade is a
time when students are especially vulnerable. The report indicated that as
students reach ages 11 and 12, their involvement in alcohol, cigarettes,
deadly inhalants, marijuana, and other drug use quadruples from the fourth
grade. The cause is believed to be perceived peer use.
"This misperception alone -- that everyone is doing it -- can be a
powerful motivator behind much of the drug use we see," said Thomas J.
Gleaton, Ed.D., president of PRIDE. "Youth need an accurate portrayal of
drug use that begins with correcting the misperception that everyone is
doing it."
Of the 26,086 responses from fourth-grade students in 22 states
nationwide, the report found that 4.1 percent smoke cigarettes, 7.7
percent drink beer, 2.2 percent drink wine coolers and 6.3 percent use
inhalants.
In addition, the survey found that the percentage of students who use
marijuana increased from 0.8 percent among fourth graders to 3.7 percent
among sixth graders. Cigarette smoking and beer drinking nearly doubled
between the fifth and sixth grades.
"It is clear from these numbers that, for 11-and 12-year-olds, the transit
ion from the fifth to the sixth grade is a critical moment as a child
makes the decision whether to use drugs and engage in other bad
behaviors," said Gleaton.
The PRIDE study is said to be the first national survey of drug use among
America's students in grades 4 through 6.

Gym Class Shapes Up for a New Generation
By Christina A. Samuels
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, April 12, 1999; Page A01
It's a gorgeous spring morning, breezy and cool, and the
physical education
instructors at Rachel Carson Middle School in Herndon have
taken
advantage of the weather and assigned a "fitness run," 15
minutes of laps
around the school's baseball field.
Some children sprint, others jog, a few plod. There's no
obvious
competition to lead the pack, as teachers might have
encouraged in years
past. Instead, several students are outfitted with heart rate
monitors, whose
chirping can be heard over the panting and pounding feet.
The point of the gadgets, teachers say, is to show students
how to exercise
at their own level. The students bringing up the rear are
doing just as well
as the students sprinting to the front, as long as each
student's heart is
getting a good workout. All the students will get a chance to
wear a
monitor and see their progress for themselves.
This new philosophy behind physical education instruction -- a
reduced
emphasis on games and competition, and an increased focus on
fitness for
life and self-improvement -- is finding favor among
instructors in the
Washington area and across the country.
Proponents call it the "New PE" Standbys such as jumping
jacks,
push-ups, sit-ups and games that single out the weak and
reward the
skilled are on the way out. In their place are activities that
teachers hope
will keep students healthy for a lifetime.
"Say I tell them, 'If you want an 'A' in my class, you have to
run a
sub-eight-minute mile,' " said Paul Helstrom, the physical
education
department chairman at Carson Middle. "How can that be fair? I
tell them,
'We're going to grade you on improvement.' "
That works for Tess Parker, 13, a Carson eighth-grader. Though
not in the
lead, Tess saw her heart rate dip during the run and tried to
run a little
faster. "Machines like this really push me," she said. Her
friend Julia Leis,
14, also wore a monitor. "It's really interesting to see your
heart rate," Julia
said. "I knew I was working really hard."
Fairfax County is in the process of adopting a new physical
education
curriculum in which "the focus shifts from trying to be the
best to a
maintenance of health," said Mary Marks, coordinator of health
and
physical education for the county.
Prince William schools will showcase their physical education
curriculum,
revised in 1996, during a fitness fair in June. In several
other Washington
area districts, officials in charge of physical education
programs are
encouraging teachers to adopt the new approach.
"I look forward to a day of no jumping jacks," said Virginia
Tech
education professor George Graham. His textbook, "Children
Moving,"
spells out a kinder, gentler physical education curriculum for
teachers in
training. He is working with Falls Church schools to modify
the school
system's physical education instruction.
The theory is that children will be motivated to work out if
it's kept fun and
stress-free. Capturing students such as Ashish Sharma, a
Carson
eighth-grader wearing a heart monitor, is the goal.
"Sometimes it's fun," said Ashish, 14. "But when you have to
run too much,
it's a drag."
The shift in physical education philosophy comes at the same
time
Americans are absorbing several sobering studies on the health
of young
people. A 1996 surgeon general's report said that children
were becoming
more obese and less active.
A year later, a "Shape of the Nation" report sponsored by the
National
Association for Sport and Physical Education showed most
schools were
not following the surgeon general's recommendation that
students get daily
physical education instruction. Children in Maryland, Virginia
and the
District get it in elementary school from one to three times a
week.
Some teachers don't think that the "New PE" is going to make
children any
more active. Geraldine Green-Reed, a physical education
instructor at
Evans Middle School in Northeast Washington, is keeping her
classes
tough. Her students don't leave without going through jumping
jacks,
push-ups and deep knee bends.
"I involve calisthenics in the curriculum because I was taught
in the 'old
school,' " Green-Reed said. "You don't get out of exercising."
Graham argues that the adults of today, with their
well-documented
couch-potato habits, are the result of the "old" curriculum.
The strenuous
and competitive physical education classes they had as
children caused
them to develop a permanent dislike for exercise, he said.
Even the venerable Presidential Physical Fitness Awards
program is
promoting a less competitive approach to fitness. For 22
years, from 1966
to 1988, the program recognized children who were able to
perform a
demanding set of activities, including a one-mile run, curls
and pull-ups, to
national standards. In the last decade, however, the name
changed to the
President's Challenge, and children who perform at a less
elite level also
are recognized.
Oak View Elementary in Fairfax has been recognized 13 times by
the
President's Challenge for the number of students who perform
well on the
physical fitness tests. But Jim Moyer, a physical education
teacher at the
school for the last 31 years, said he has learned to change
his approach.
Moyer said he now plays down calisthenics and games and
promotes skills
development so his students "can work at their own level,
without having to
compete with an all-star."
Although some teachers approve of the trend, parents are still
learning,
said Takoma Park Elementary teacher Donald Austin, whose
students
practice such skills as tossing rings and shooting hockey
pucks through
holes.
"Parents come in and ask, 'Do you teach basketball or soccer?'
" Austin
said. "In the early grade levels, I don't think kids need to
deal with
competition. The kids don't know how to handle it, or they
handle it with
tears."
Physical education instructors also are starting to offer
activities in hopes of
getting students hooked on some sport they'll keep up for
life. Children
across the country are finding roller-blading, rock climbing
and mountain
bike riding added to their programs. Carson Middle has a
weight room
with stationary bikes.
Debbie Summers, a physical education instructor at Monacacy
Elementary
in Montgomery County, teaches her students juggling. It's
excellent for
improving hand-eye coordination, she said.
This month, Summers's youngest charges are in the process of
learning
"striking skills," which will eventually translate into the
same skills needed
for volleyball, tennis and badminton. Every child has a paddle
and a
balloon that they bat all over the gym.
"I learned that [balloons] can be fun," said 7-year-old
Cassandra
Casas-Cordero, a first-grader.
That's the point, Summers said. "We are offering a program for
every
single child that comes through that door. If we force
children to run, if we
have them doing pull-ups all the time, they're going to hate
it."

Gretchen Lingle, a graduate student of mine, is conducting a study about
women and sharing health stories. As a favor I would ask that if you have
a few minutes to go to Gretchen's web page, peruse through, read some of
the stories, and to add your own story to the collection. The stories will
be listed with no names (unless otherwise requested). Thanks for your help
with her study.
The web page is: http://www.kittle.siu.edu/lingle

Dear HEDIR Friends:
Thank you for the responses to my request for a current video on the USA
health care system. I was interested in using such a video in an
introductory health course.
Unfortunately, the leads received did not lead anywhere. If you should
hear of any video coming out, please send the information through the
list. There were many people who were interested in receiving the
information.
Thanks again.
Mark

Enjoy the open/close and, if possible tune in. Comments welcomed, as always. Re
students, note that there are now audio interviews on this site--these are easy to
find on the first page you come to. They are called Studio one2one.
