Only original manuscripts that have not been accepted or published previously will be considered.

All manuscripts must meet the author guidelines (see below). Each manuscript will receive a blind review from at least three reviewers.
Selection criteria will include relevance of topic to health education, timeliness, originality, writing style and grammar, content accuracy, clarity, and economy of expression.

Greetings,
I have a student who finds herself in a bind and needs to take a Community Health class before ours will be offered again in Winter of 09.
Do any of you know of an undergraduate Community Health course available on-line in which she may be able to enroll?
Thanks,
Kris

"Imagine what it might be like in 20 years if our efforts are successful and people could once again govern themselves. A line would be carefully drawn between corporations and the state, reducing financial influence over elections and lawmaking, making possible a whole new generation of progressive elected officials committed to social transformation. Imagine that the institutions of the global economy are overhauled so that labor and environmental issues are integrated into trade policies, and impoverished nations are freed from unpayable international debts. Trade and investment rules promote fair exchange, and national governments have the policy space to support social and environmental goals at home." http://yesmagazine.org/article.asp?ID=1825

Hello, I am forwarding this message from Dr. Jody Oomen-Early at Texas Woman's University:
=20
Hi, Kris and other HEDIR subscribers,
As a reply to Kris' inquiry about an online Community Health course, I thought I'd share a little about our online program. TWU offers a bachelor's completion program in Community Health as well as a fully online Masters in Health Studies (with Community Health, Health Management, dual MLS/MS, and Higher Education tracks). We offer upper division online courses (CHES-based) courses from a SAPBAC approved curriculum that also meets national standards for excellence in online course design (i.e. Quality Matters). If anyone needs an online course such as Community Health, Program Planning, Program Evaluation, Grant Writing, etc., you may want to check out our program. Students can register as non-degree seeking if they just need to pick up a class.
It's also one of the most affordable online options around. There is an article that has just been published in the current special edition of the International Electronic Journal of Health Education on our program outcomes. Here is the link to the article (2nd one down):

For another program you might want to try the University of Alabama's Distance Education program in Health Studies. Great program with some very good online and video instruction! The website is http://www.ches.ua.edu/distanceed/graduate/index.htm
