The purpose of this study was to evaluate adolescent satisfaction with the curriculum HealthSpeaks. HealthSpeaks was designed to use poetry to increase awareness about healthy behaviors and health conditions. Research has shown that using poetry in education and related fields promotes social connections, information retention, and awareness among adolescents. Using poetry may also assist with increasing knowledge about health behaviors and certain conditions. Methods: HealthSpeaks is a four-lesson curriculum that focused on healthy eating and exercising, substance abuse, mental health, and sexually transmitted infections. The curriculum was developed and implemented by a health sciences professor to focus on junior high school students participating in a community organization's summer program. Students completed an evaluation after all four lessons were complete. The evaluation form included Likert-scale responses as well as open-ended questions to assess students' satisfaction with HealthSpeaks. Results: A total of 17 adolescents completed HealthSpeaks as part of a summer program in Charleston, West Virginia and the subsequent evaluation. The majority of participating adolescents felt that incorporating poetry into health education lessons was an effective teaching method. Conclusions: HealthSpeaks, and similarly styled curricula, may be a valuable way to present health education topics. Health educators must be creative when teaching health education to adolescents. Recommendations: Health educators should incorporate poetry or similarly designed curricula like HealthSpeaks, to influence adolescents' health behavior practices. Research recommendations include assessing knowledge and awareness levels pre- and post- poetry-based health education curricula. Other recommendations include exploring whether self-reflective poetry influences health behaviors more than when students read poetry relevant to health conditions written by others.
