NATIONAL HEALTH EDUCATION STANDARDS, PreK-12 REVIEW AND REVISION PROJECT
UPDATE FOR THE PROFESSION
JULY 2005
Ten Year Review and Revision
September 2004 - June 2006
Review Process and National Input from the Profession
The first review during the review and revision process focused on the seven
original standards statements and proposed change. A total of 1,125 people
participated in the NHES Online Survey. There were 122 pages of written comments
(1565 comments in total) provided by participants across all seven NHES
statements and the final comments section of the survey. Following the review
the 2005 standard statements were reconsidered with the following outcome:
Standard 1 Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and
disease prevention to enhance health.
Rationale for Change: The phrase "to enhance health" was added to clearly
articulate the purpose of the Standard.
Standard 2 Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media,
technology, and other factors on health behaviors.
Rationale for Change: The factors family and peers were added to underscore
their importance.
Standard 3 Students will demonstrate the ability to access information, products
and services to enhance health.
Rationale for Change: The Standard was revised to focus the outcome on health
enhancement.
Standard 4 Students will demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal
communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
Rationale for Change: The phase "avoid and reduce health risks" was added to
better reflect the range of interpersonal communication skills.
Standard 5 Students will demonstrate the ability the use decision-making skills
to enhance health.
Rationale for Change: No change was made.
Standard 6 Students will demonstrate the ability to use goal setting skills to
enhance health.
Rationale for Change: The original Standard was separated into two Standards to
better articulate the distinct skills.
Standard 7 Students will demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing
behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.
Rationale for Change: The phrase "avoid or" was added to better reflect the ways
to minimize risk.
Standard 8 Students will demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal,
family, and community health.
Rationale for Change: No change was made.
The Standards were re-ordered to reflect the sequential acquisition of concepts,
personal and social skills, practice of healthy behaviors and advocacy for self
and others.
Soliciting Additional Feedback
The second of the three national surveys to obtain feedback from the profession
and related stakeholders focuses on the proposed revisions to the student
performance indicators for each of the standards statements. The survey is

Parameters for the Revision
The National Health Education Standards Review and Revision Panel reviewed and
revised the original parameters before revising the content standards and
performance indicators. Specifically, the revised National Health Education
Standards and Performance Indicators were based on:
The Goal of Health Education
The overall goal of health education is for students to adopt and maintain
healthy behaviors. To achieve this goal, health education should facilitate the
acquisition of health knowledge and skills that enable individuals to engage in
health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce risk behaviors.
The following principles/parameters have provided guidance for the revisions
under consideration:
* Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricula
* Health Behavior Theories and Models
* Health Belief Model
* Social Cognitive/Self-Efficacy
* Theory of Planned Behavior
* Inoculation Theory
* Personal health within the context of families, schools and communities.
* Physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions of health.
* Functional health knowledge and personal and social skills that directly
contribute to healthy behaviors.
* Health promotion as well as avoidance and reduction of health risks.
* Developmentally appropriate, higher order thinking skills.
Completion of the Review and Revision
It is anticipated that the review and revision writing will be completed by the
end of November 2005. At that time the final document will enter the design and
editing phase with publication anticipated in the first 3 months of 2006.
Publication and dissemination plans are still at the formative stage and further
information will be provided through the next up-date for the profession.
