In addition, the survey reveals that children are an average of 12 years old when they first see or hear about their classmates who huff. The AAP commissioned Global Strategy Group to conduct a nationwide survey of 600 young people between the ages of 10 and 17. This survey draws national attention to AAP efforts on inhalant abuse prevention highlighted during Child Health Month this October. Established seven years ago by the AAP, Child Health Month is a major public awareness effort held every October to stress the importance of preventive health care for all children. The survey also found that nearly six in ten children (59 percent) are 12 years of age or younger when they initially become aware of friends huffing. Another 34 percent are between 13 and 15 when they first are exposed to peers using inhalants. "Abusing inhalants can cause severe permanent damage, especially to the brain," said AAP President Joel J. Alpert, M.D., FAAP. "The scariest thing about inhalants is that your child could die from using them only once." Additional survey findings include: While inhalant abuse education is covered in the classroom (73 percent), parents are not discussing the issue enough at home. Only 56 percent of 10- to 17-year-olds say they have discussed huffing in their family. Younger children (10 to 11) are the least likely to learn about inhalants in school (67 percent) as well as the least likely to talk with their parents about inhalants(only 48 percent), but are the most likely to have personally been exposed to inhalants. Children who are exposed to "huffers" report they hear about and see their friends using inhalants at least once a month (53 percent). Twenty percent hear about their classmates huffing more than once a week. Huffing occurs mostly after school (23 percent). But children report that their classmates also use inhalants on weekends (14 percent), in class (13 percent), before school (12 percent), and at night (12 percent). In addition, the survey found that huffing is most common in the South where 32 percent know friends who huff and 9 percent have had personal experience with inhalants. "Parents worry about alcohol and drugs, but may not realize that home products also pose a substance abuse hazard," Dr. Alpert said. "The best way to prevent inhalant abuse is to educate your child about how harmful these products are. Explain to your child how inhalants can cause both short- and long-term health problems, lead to further drug abuse, and even death." Signs and symptoms of inhalant abuse include: --Breath and clothing that smell like chemicals --Spots or sores around the mouth --Paint or stains on body or clothing --Drunk, dazed, or glassy-eyed look --Nausea, loss of appetite --Anxiety, excitability, irritability According to the AAP, the most effective way to prevent inhalant abuse is by educating parents, teachers, and school-aged children of the signs, symptoms, and dangers. The key to helping children resist inhalants is the same as helping them resist tobacco,alcohol and drugs. Parents can influence a child's decision not to abuse drugs by not using drugs themselves, and by providing guidance and clear rules about not using drugs. The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 55,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. This survey is made possible by an educational grant from SC Johnson and the AAP Friends of Children Fund. ª American Academy of Pediatrics See this release at: http://www.aap.org/advocacy/releases/octinh.htm For more information on inhalant abuse prevention, plus a free video, contact the National Inhalant Prevention Coalition, www.inhalants.org (800-269-4237) -- Isabel Burk, M.S., CHES The Health Network 11 Adam Place New City, NY 10956 (914) 638-3569 fax: (914) 638-1928 E-mail: iburk@idt.net ------------------------------ #2134 Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 11:51:51 -0400 From: Jennifer George Subject: Proclamation Signing ** ATTENTION DIRECTORS/CHAIRS OF HEALTH EDUCATION: ** Please go to http://www.kittle.siu.edu/health to complete a survey Good morning and happy Friday!

I pasted below a few websites from which you might be able to find some stuff. I'd say the EDC that Ken mentioned is a really good bet for getting more research-oriented materials. See if they've got a more recent version of Injury Prevention: Meeting the Challenge. I found the one published in 1989 in a stack of old books and I don't know if they have a more recent version. The 1989 one says that the effects of firearm safety courses (i.e., education interventions) on firearm injury rates is unknown. But then, that was 10 years ago and maybe someone's evaluated something by now. Also, I attended the most recent Arizona state SAFEKIDS Coalition meeting where the Tucson coalition reported on a firearm safety program they did - - somehow they raised money to buy a whole bunch of gun locks that the fire department then distributed to people in the community. It was a huge success in that they went like hotcakes, but I don't know what happened after that. The person who reported on the program (he's also the contact person for the Tucson SAFEKIDS Coalition) was Randy Ogden - - Tucson Fire Department, Tucson, AZ, (520) 791-5411, rogden1@ci.tucson.az.us.

Pirsig. I read it years ago before my age of Wellness Enlightenment. Recently, I was revisiting some old writings of Pirsigfs and I came across this essay on "Gumption" and could instantly see the problem solving connotations. Here are two particularly good paragraphs: "A person with gumption doesnft sit around dissipating and stewing about things. Hefs at the front of the train of his own awareness, watching to see whatfs up the track and meeting it when it comes. Thatfs gumption. The gumption-filling process occurs when one is quiet long enough to see and hear and feel the real universe, not just onefs stale opinions about it+" "You see it often in people who return from quiet fishing trips. Often theyfre a little defensive about having put so much time to "no account" because therefs no intellectual justification for what theyfve been doing. But the returned fisherman usually has a peculiar abundance of gumption, usually for the very same things he was sick to death of a few weeks before. He hasnft been wasting time. Itfs only our limited cultural viewpoint that makes it seem so." Thatfs a very "well attitude" I say!

I was looking over a packet that my professor gave me which dealt with different theories and examples of how they are implemented. I would just like to say that I personally like the social learning theory. As a 21 year old male, I have seen many instances where I do things just because thats the way it's been done around me. Using the social learning theory, and applying it to the community, I think that it is the heart of all things, and that society is the whole reason that people act the way they do.

Well, don't get me started. The answer, Rose, is of course there are. No matter which comprehensive health education program you select, mental health, emotional health, coping skills, etc. are included and could be well taught. I say could be, because even in schools that have adopted comprehensive health education, programs are not fully implemented. I'm preparing for a class this week in which we are studying the Healthy People 2000 data, looking at highlights and the 1995 Report on Progress, http://odphp.osophs.dhhs.gov/pubs/hp2000/midcrs1.htm (click on Chapter 1). There is a data table in the report indicating such information as baseline data, update, % change, Year 2000 targets. Then the table tells you if the change is in the "right" direction (i.e. improving) or "wrong" direction (i.e. getting even worse). When you travel down to "more schools with comprehensive school health education" you have no baseline data, therefore no update and no % change. For the year 2000 there is a target of 75%, but there is also a big "X" in the "No data" column. It's interesting to me that school health is one of the few objectives with No Data in more than 15 years and apparently not even an attempt at baseline data. It's pretty challenging to get the behavior change you want when the subject isn't taught. There are a wide variety of programs in which health teachers and other school personnel are trained in the skills you mention. But if this knowledge and these skills are not included on state mandated standardized tests, it is pretty easy not to find the time to offer this education. Or to hope that someone else in the coordinated school health program - nurse, counselors, etc. may be able to do this. I think school-based health educators and classroom teachers work hard to accomplish education about mental health, and some schools do a fine job. For others, priorities may make it almost impossible to offer this education in a meaningful way.

Newshawk: David Hadorn Pubdate: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 Source: Reuters Copyright: 1999 Reuters Limited Author: James Vicini SUPREME COURT ALLOWS DRUG TESTS FOR NEW TEACHERS WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court Monday allowed mandatory drug tests for prospective teachers, rejecting the argument that the tests violate constitutional privacy rights. The high court without any comment or dissent let stand a ruling that allowed the Knox County Board of Education in Tennessee to require that teachers take drug tests because they hold ``safety-sensitive'' positions. The program had been challenged by a group representing professional employees in the school system on the grounds that it violated their constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures of evidence. The program requires that persons applying to become teachers must take a urine drug test after they are offered a position, but before their employment begins. The rule also covers transfers and promotions within the system. Among those designated as having ``safety-sensitive'' positions required to take the drug tests were principals, assistant principals, teachers, teacher's aides, substitute teachers, secretaries and bus drivers. The Supreme Court case focused only on teachers. The county employs 3,200 teachers in its elementary, middle and high schools. A federal judge initially struck down the policy as unconstitutional. But a U.S. appeals court reversed the ruling, declaring that ``common sense and experience with life'' and ``intuitive understanding'' were enough to hold that teacher drug tests were essential to ensure ``the safety and welfare of the children.'' In appealing to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the teachers argued that a specific evidentiary showing was needed to justify the drug tests. They said there was no evidence to indicate a problem of drug use among the school system's teachers or that drug use had ever impaired a teacher's performance of school duties. The lawyers also said the school district had failed to show that tests based on individualized suspicion of drug use would be ineffective in identifying a teacher whose abilities might be affected by drug use. They said the program failed to strike the proper balance between governmental interests and privacy concerns. But the board of education defended the drug tests of all new teachers, saying their profession was highly regulated and they have a responsibility to protect students from harm and to secure order in the schools. ``The Knox County public schools have a legitimate governmental interest in employing drug-free teachers,'' the lawyer representing the board told the Supreme Court. The last time the Supreme Court ruled on drug tests in schools was in 1995, when it upheld tests of students who take part in athletic programs. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake ------------------------------ #2162 Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 11:55:13 -0700 From: Andrew P Jenkins Subject: Thanks--Karate & HIV ** ATTENTION DIRECTORS/CHAIRS OF HEALTH EDUCATION: ** Please go to http://www.kittle.siu.edu/health ** Browse the latest Jones and Bartlett titles at http://www.jbpub.com ** Visit us in Booth #356 at APHA in Chicago! --Boundary_(ID_36f+qF7Jld2fgn9D+t+ExA) Content-type: text/plain; x-mac-creator=4D4F5353; x-mac-type=54455854; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT Folks, Thanks to Kristin Adams,Walt Stoll, and all the others for the help.

The term "Karate" describes a large variety of martial arts that can be very different in terms of the skills taught, level of physical contact, and the risk for exposure to blood born pathogens. To judge wether a true risk existed we would have to know what style was being taught and whether the students engaged in full contact karate at any time (some do, some don't). When I took Karate many years ago, My parents and I chose a school that did not engage in full contact Karate except during exhibitions and for advanced students only. So, during the class, the risk for blood-to-blood contact was low (we weren't worried about HIV in 1975, but we were worried about me being hurt too much). But at exhibitions and contests, where full contact was made, bleeding wounds were common for both combatants. Obviously the transmission risk was higher at these events. Also, to say that "There has never been a documented case of HIV being transmitted via contact at a sporting event, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," is not to say that it can't happen. And to say that "None of us are ever free from infections which have the potential to harm others," is also spurious. We aren't talking about any infection someone "might" have here. We're talking about a known infection with HIV, which the mother apparently lied about. Reasonable caution is warranted. If the school taught and aggressive form of full contact Karate, I think the concern was legitimate. I also think the accommodation offered was reasonable. Therefore, I find the court's ruling to be reasonable. As a person who is disabled, I value the ADA very highly. But I do not feel that the ADA should be interpreted in such a way that is allows a person who is disabled to put others at known risk. Walter A. Hanks, BS, C.H.E.S.

In response to the recent posting by Margo Harris, in which she stated that the 1995 Healthy People Review indicated that no base line data exists for school health education objectives, I would like to point out that the School Health Programs and Policies Study (SHPPS) was conducted in 1994. Results were published in a special; issue of the Journal of School Health in October of 1995. SO, there was no baseline data in 1990 or 1994. However, there is now and the Healthy People 2000 Review of 1998-1999 gives that data. A second SHPPS will be conducted in 2000, so we will see whether the status is improving or not. However, of more concern is a recent move by DHHS to eliminate all school health objectives from the Healthy People 2010 Objectives except for one: K-12 comprehensive school health education. That is an important one, but the original draft also called for nutrition education as part of comprehensive school health education in the nutrition chapter, conflict resolution education as part of CSHE in the violence chapter, etc. In an attempt to reduce the total number of objectives, any mention of health education as a means of achieving other goals such as improved nutritional status, reduction in the use of harmful substances, etc. will disappear. I think it is safe to assume that many in the public health/medical care community (the primary audience of Healthy People 2010) will never consider health education as a tool for achieving their objectives if such reminders disappear.

Well, don't get me started. The answer, Rose, is of course there are. No matter which comprehensive health education program you select, mental health, emotional health, coping skills, etc. are included and could be well taught. I say could be, because even in schools that have adopted comprehensive health education, programs are not fully implemented. I'm preparing for a class this week in which we are studying the Healthy People 2000 data, looking at highlights and the 1995 Report on Progress, http://odphp.osophs.dhhs.gov/pubs/hp2000/midcrs1.htm (click on Chapter 1). There is a data table in the report indicating such information as baseline data, update, % change, Year 2000 targets. Then the table tells you if the change is in the "right" direction (i.e. improving) or "wrong" direction (i.e. getting even worse). When you travel down to "more schools with comprehensive school health education" you have no baseline data, therefore no update and no % change. For the year 2000 there is a target of 75%, but there is also a big "X" in the "No data" column. It's interesting to me that school health is one of the few objectives with No Data in more than 15 years and apparently not even an attempt at baseline data. It's pretty challenging to get the behavior change you want when the subject isn't taught. There are a wide variety of programs in which health teachers and other school personnel are trained in the skills you mention. But if this knowledge and these skills are not included on state mandated standardized tests, it is pretty easy not to find the time to offer this education. Or to hope that someone else in the coordinated school health program - nurse, counselors, etc. may be able to do this. I think school-based health educators and classroom teachers work hard to accomplish education about mental health, and some schools do a fine job. For others, priorities may make it almost impossible to offer this education in a meaningful way.

Walt and Others, This is a topic I can really get excited about. I think it’s a perfect example of how AIDS hysteria and ignorance leads to discrimination. I am frustrated that nearly a decade after the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that all athletes infected with HIV should be allowed to participate in competitive sport we still see this type of discrimination. I think the judge and the karate studio owners should have looked at the difference between possibility and probability. Yes, it is theoretically possible to transmit HIV in a contact sport but it is highly unlikely. On the other hand, the likelihood of non-AIDS catastrophic injury (death, spinal trauma, loss of vision, severe brain damage, severe limb injury, etc.) is far greater yet the risk is somehow deemed "acceptable" by parents. As a parent of a boy who takes karate lessons, I am far more concerned about the possibility of him sustaining a catastrophic head or musculoskeletal injury than contracting HIV. It seems the American public fears AIDS and hopes somehow to reduce the risk, no matter how remote, to absolute zero. Yet on the other hand, we deem the risk of catastrophic injury as somehow acceptable and may even (at some level) hold non-life threatening sports injuries up as red badges of courage. (BTW Did I tell you how I tore my ACL in the big all-city championship of ’76?) Participation in all sports requires a certain degree of "assumed risk" on behalf of the participants. When the data on HIV transmission among low risk, non-homosexual, non-IV drug abusers is compared to the relative risks of playing football, hockey, basketball and other collision sports the risks to contracting HIV pale in comparison. In a six-year study of high school and college sports, 36 football players were involved in fatal injuries. Between soccer, gymnastics, track, wrestling, and baseball, 12 others were fatally injured and 136 were seriously injured and not one became HIV positive as a result of sports participation (referenced below as Mueller & Cantu, 1990). Clearly, the student athlete is far more likely to be injured or killed in a mishap on the playing field than by chance HIV transmission! Lastly, why should the karate studio in question assume that all the other boys are HIV NEGATIVE? The National Athletic Trainers Association and the ACSM as well as most other state level sports medicine associations operate under the assumption that EVERY player is potentially carrying a blood borne pathogen (e.g. HIV, hepatitis) not just the ones who REPORT their positive status. Therefore, all collision/contact sports associations at the collegiate levels and most high school levels have enacted regulations wherein all play is stopped at the sight of blood and not resumed until the blood (or body fluids other than saliva & sweat) are properly cleaned up. CDC "Universal Precautions" prevail. Why can’t the karate studio place leather karate mitts and head gear on the kids (they probably already do in full contact sparring) and observe the same universal precautions that all other organized sports do in the 1990’s?

The 2000 Symposium will focus on the role of leadership in creating a business climate that uplifts human spirit. The Symposium’s goal is to bring together dynamic spiritual and business leaders for two days of inspiring and practical dialogue. We will be addressing such questions as "What is the role of spirituality in forming the values of a modern business leader?" and "Does spirituality have anything to do with creating a successful business leader?" The Symposium will begin Wednesday evening March 22 and continue through Friday afternoon March 24. The format includes key note presentations, breakout sessions, facilitated working groups, and opportunities to meet and network with other leaders in this field. Invited speakers include Aaron Feuerstein, Warren Bennis, Stephen Covey, Tanis Helliwell, Tedd Benson, Milagros Phillips, Judy Wicks, Eileen Fisher, and Gun Denhart. We have been able to put together an exciting program at a reasonable price, which includes all meals: dinners, lunches & continental breakfasts.

A press release from the National Center for Health Education is attached. On behalf of the group, I apologize for the lateness of the material, but hope that since many knew it was coming that some groundwork has been laid in many of your sites. You can either request copies by mail or download, download, download. Big news: The focus of the NHEW Campaign Planning Packet is on Health Education, rather than any specific health problem or issue. This means that the packet you get this year can be used over and over again..a great advantage. I think many will agree that focusing on health education in general is very important and a major legacy of this year's planning committee.

Galaxy 6 is located where Galaxy 4 used to be (at 99 West); therefore, if your receiver gives you the choice of "G4," choose it. To check your system out early, turn to the satellite and look for the following programming: Channel 15 World Harvest (Religious Programming) If you can see the above programming, then you know that you are on Galaxy 6. Don't forget to change back to Channel 19 to receive our programming. 2. Please test your equipment as soon as possible to ensure that it is functioning properly and to see if you can get programming from our satellite. Storms can cause damage and/or move your antenna out of alignment, or you may not have your satellite of choice programmed in. Do not wait until test time to discover problems. If you think your dish and/or receiver are malfunctioning or not programmed correctly, have them checked out by a professional well before the program. Although a Troubleshooter will be provided during test and air, we cannot guarantee the performance of your equipment. Mark J.

Andy, Isn't it ironic when Karate`, Tai Chi, Yoga, Tae Qwan Do, and the like are among the most effective things for the HIV positive individual to do to avoid ever becoming a full-blown AIDS person AND to help prevent the progression of AIDS. This information has been known since the early '80s and has been published in "Psychoimmunity and the Healing Process", edited by Jason Serinus and published by Celestial Arts in 1986 (among many other places). It was also published in the American Holistic Medical Association's newsletter about the same year. I was the author of that one and many studies were referenced there. The problem is, however, that none of these approaches make a lot of money for the conventional medical monopoly. Indeed, they are all looked at as competition. If there were any drug with as impressive results--and only positive side-effects--it would have been touted as the discovery of the century. Thanks for bringing this up! Surely it is a responsibility of Health Educators to know stuff like this.
