Ethics Surveys for Practitioners and Faculty, Surveys Available until September 15, 2006.=20

What do health educators think about ethics and their ethical training in health education? How often do they encounter unethical behavior and what do they think should be done about it? What, how, and by whom is ethics taught in contemporary professional preparation programs in health education? SOPHE's Ethics Committee is seeking insights to these and other questions related to ethical health education practice by launching two online surveys. One survey queries health educators'

professional training in ethics, their experience exposure to unethical behavior, their perceptions concerning sanctions for unethical behavior, and their interest in increased courses or continuing education in ethics. =20

A second survey invites ONE faculty member from each professional preparation program to answer questions pertaining to how ethics is taught to their graduate and /or undergraduate students, the course instructors' preparation in ethics, and the perceived need by faculty for more training in this area.

Each survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes, is completely confidential, and is open to SOPHE members and non-members alike.=20

Dear Colleagues,

This summer I send a message over the HEDIR requesting syllabus from courses in health and technology. I received two responses. So, now that many of you are back for the semester, I am asking again...

We are finally in the process of developing a course in health education and technology. We are looking for information to help us develop such course. So, if you teach or have such a course at your institution, we would appreciate if you can share a copy of your syllabus. Please send email directly to me or via regular mail to my address below. Thank for your time and cooperation.

In good health,

Raffy Luquis
