The impact of emotion on health behavior cannot be underestimated.  Evidence clearly states that knowledge is not very good at predicting or changing behavior.  Health Educators have long believed the impact of emotions (or attitudes) can be the decisive factor.  I’m sure there’s compelling evidence and research to both deny and support this claim.  This [...]

The HEDIR Technology week is being held this week.  It’s intent is to provide an overview on some timely technologies but also how they can be used effectively within health education (and any other related profession as well).

Monday will include Drs. Don and Beth Chaney from the University of Florida.  The profession is indeed fortunate [...]

Many of us who are in higher education have seen the use of ‘clickers’.  Some of the available commercial products include:

1. H-ITT:  http://www.h-itt.com/index.html

Folks,

As a newly certified Health Educator, I wanted to offer some of my perceptions so far. First, I agree that one problem that I am having is that many people/organizations do not know exactly what a health educator does. Many confuse the competencies with those of a nurse or a teacher when in reality health [...]

Thanks Owen for a detailed response. I hope others will respond. I agree that ‘on paper’ states have done well…but in reality schools don’t really hire health educators to do the instruction. They hire physical educators who have an additional teaching focus (and my premise is that the ‘additional teaching area’ is [...]

I have recently been made aware, by a fellow colleague in North Carolina, that there have been reports of the death of school health education ( http://hedir.org ). Upon review of this recently archived webinar and accompanying draft memo, I find reports of its death to be greatly exaggerated. (To paraphrase Mark Twain). Contrary to [...]
