This document evaluates the effectiveness of a project on health education conducted in Appalachian Maryland. The emphasis of the project was on teaching children in the fifth grade about lung and respiratory system problems and their connection with smoking. This health education course was incorporated into their regular curriculum. Prior to implementing the health program in the classroom, school personnel were involved in an intensive workshop that provided learning activities based on the philosophy that children could make positive and rational decisions regarding their health behavior. The responses and reactions of the teachers to the workshop program are tabulated in the document. Following actual classroom application of instruction for a year, the children involved, as well as their parents, were asked to assess the project and to express their reactions to the subTect and the way in which it was taught. The results of their responses to questionnaires are tabulated. The assessments of the teachers involved are also recorded. (JD)
