STANDARDS ADDRESSED:
Domain Description: In 1995, the National Health Education Standards established health
literacy as the primary outcome of a comprehensive K-12 Health Education program. The product of a
successful health education program is not just a person who knows a lot about health topics, but a
person who is: a critical thinker and problem solver who can apply decision-making and goal-setting
skills within the context of health; a responsible, productive citizen who avoids behaviors that place
his/her health or that of others at risk; a lifelong learner who continues to grow in knowledge by
gathering, analyzing, and applying accurate health information as his/her needs change throughout life.
