Using physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social areas of the health spectrum, students explore ways to positively influence the health behavior of individuals and communities. Students also develop an understanding of other factors such as environment, peers, and family that influence their health decisions. Health education improves the overall health status of individuals, families, communities, states, and the nation.
