The fourth chapter, "Health Issues for Hispanic Youth," covers consumer health, community and environmental health, disease prevention and control, prevention of drug use and drug abuse, mental and emotional health, family life, and nutrition. The fifth chapter offers Hispanic students' responses from a focus group on health and health education. The sixth chapter, "Implications for Health Education," discusses general guidelines, the impact of culture on health education, health education content, instructional methodologies, and materials.
