Dear Colleagues,

Since 1984, Eta Sigma Gamma has published a special Student Issue of the Health Education Monograph Series. The Monograph has been successful because of the support provided by chapter sponsors and faculty. To continue this success with the 2006 monograph, we are requesting that you forward this e-mail to interested students and encourage them to submit manuscripts for consideration. Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit manuscripts.

It is important that you or other faculty at your institution review student manuscripts prior to their submission. The Faculty Sponsor Form provides a guideline for your review and should be included with each submission.

You and your students will find the following information on the Eta Sigma Gamma Website: The Call for Manuscripts, Guidelines for Manuscripts, and Faculty Sponsor Form for the 2006 Eta Sigma Gamma Student Monograph. http://www.etasigmagamma.org/

We appreciate your assistance. If you need additional information, please contact us at anytime.

What is the Student Monograph?

In 1982, Eta Sigma Gamma began publishing a monograph series addressing topics of broad interest and appeal to health educators. Since 1984, the Spring Monograph has been dedicated to publishing papers written by student members of the Honorary.

Who Can Submit Manuscripts?

Any undergraduate or graduate student who is a member in good standing of Eta Sigma Gamma can submit a manuscript for consideration. Students may submit their manuscripts individually, or two or more students may collaborate on a single manuscript.

What type of Manuscripts are Appropriate?

Empirical research papers, critical literature reviews on specific topics, case studies about aspects of program planning, practical perspectives, commentaries and position papers, and other creative papers related to health promotion, health education, and health science are encouraged. Students should consider revising and submitting appropriate papers, which they have written during their professional preparation. Only original manuscripts that have not been accepted or published previously will be considered.

How are Manuscripts Evaluated and Selected for Publication?

Each manuscript will receive a blind review from at least three reviewers. Selection criteria will include relevance of topic, timeliness, originality, writing style and grammar, content accuracy, clarity and economy of expression. Based on the results of the review and availability of space, the Monograph will select and publish as many manuscripts as possible.

When is the Deadline for Submitting a Manuscript?

Manuscripts must be postmarked by January 20, 2006.

To Whom Should Manuscripts be Addressed?

Submit a cover letter and a completed Faculty Sponsor Form, with the original manuscript and three copies to:

Hello,

We are in the process of developing a Child and Adolescent Health Course for health and physical education majors. Does anyone teach a similar course? If so, would you be willing to share your syllabus?

We are also looking for feedback on what teachers feel are the most important topics/skills to include in the class.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please e-mail me directly at kjohns90@kennesaw.edu.

Thank you,
