This report recommends a statewide plan of action to ensure that Pennsylvania schools provide quality school health education programs. It is the culmination of a process undertaken by the Quality School Health Education Project, initiated in response to the Year 2000 national health objective on school health education. The project identified critical problems and actions which would lead to improvements in school health education. These problems and actions are addressed within the following issue areas: health curriculum and instruction, school-community coalitions, teacher preparation, policy and resources, and key health education objectives. In each issue area, background information is provided along with objectives, change strategies, and a list of action groups. Appendices contain a list of the components of a comprehensive school health program; background information on the prevalence of health problems among Pennsylvania's young people; information on the effectiveness of school health education; a list of publications and organizations; and a list of project participants.
