The goal of health education is to motivate society to adopt health behaviors that will reduce premature morbidity and mortality from known preventable causes, including major chronic disease (heart disease, cancer, and stroke) and accidents. This motivation can be effective only within the framework of an action-oriented school health education program with a high degree of personal involvement. This paper describes the foundations of a new school health education system combining health screening, a “Health Passport,” a behavior-oriented health curriculum, and special interventions for high-risk students. We suggest that effective health education programs such as Know Your Body (KYB) become as important in our schools as reading, writing, and arithmetic, and that these be taught each year on a developmentally progressive scale, much in the same fashion as the three Rs.
