State = CA

" I am looking for research, model programs, or evaluations of health education programs that occur within Head Start or Family Support (Resource) Centers. The agency that I work for, Wu Yee Children's Services, is interested in developing a health education curriculum to be targeted to our Head Start and Family Resource Center clients. We are interested in identifying model programs or best practices upon which we will build our own programs/curriculum. It is our assertion that Head Start sites and Family Resource Centers provide an excellent opportunity to disseminate haealth information, not just brochures and pamphlets, but a health education program that engage parents and encourages them to make healthy choices for themselves and their children. We would like to address several topics within this curriculum such as reducing asthma risks, environmental threats in the home, oral health, injury prevention, nutrition, etc. In addition, I am interested in any publications that you are awae of regarding health education in low-icome communities, or communities that have English Language Learners. Any help that information that you have would be greatly appreciated."
