Designed for teachers of one-semester courses in health education at the high school level, this course guide helps students develop self-awareness of lifestyle choices through the use of self-assessments. Emphasis is placed on assuming responsibility for health status, maintaining and improving stress reduction techniques, and understanding how health and/or susceptibility to disease may be a function of physiological resources and lifestyles. Four units of study on various aspects of stress are presented. Each unit begins with an overview of instructional strategies and major concepts, followed by a Daily Activities Chart listing student schedules and resources. Appendices contain introductory lectures, student exams and lecture sheets, student handouts, and references. (CB)
