Synopsis

What can schools do to promote a healthy lifestyle to young people growing up today? The authors of this book acknowledge that health education must compete with other pressures on school and community work, but argue strongly for its importance. The book reviews recent research on adolescent health, setting it within theoretical frameworks, such as lifestyle development, health education models and styles of intervention. It raises many important issues for professionals working with young people in both school and community contexts.
