As part of THE FUSED Health Education Series, this article takes a deep dive into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) 15 Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curriculum. The Characteristics emerged after a review of professional literature on effective health education programs and curricula and determined that these were the common characteristics shared among effective curricula. Each of the Characteristics is intended to add quality and depth to health courses. The purpose of this three-part article is to highlight the CDC's 15 Characteristics of effective health education, explain their appropriate interpretation, and paint a picture of each characteristic by sharing examples of what each could "look like in action" within an engaging health curriculum that incorporates THE FUSED Technique.
