Download or read book Schools Health written by Diane DeMuth Allensworth and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, an Institute of Medicine committee was convened to study comprehensive school health programs (CSHPs) in grades K-12 and to make recommendations for national, state, and local actions. The background of the study, issues considered by the committee, and an overview of CSHPs are discussed in the first two chapters of this report. The remainder of the report discusses the four topics of school health that the committee examined in depth: education, services, infrastructure, and research and evaluation. Based on research on physical and health education, the committee recommends that: (1) all students receive sequential, age-appropriate health education every year during the elementary and middle or junior high grades; (2) a one-semester high-quality health education course at the secondary level become a requirement for high school graduation; and (3) all elementary teachers receive preparation in health education content and methodology during their preservice training. Based on research on services, the committee recommends that: (1) school health services be formally planned, and their quality be continuously monitored; (2) research be conducted on school-based services; (3) confidentiality of health records be given high priority; and (4) established sources of funding for school health services continue from both public health and education funds, and new approaches be developed. Based on research on CSHP infrastructure, the committee recommends that: (1) the mission of the federal Interagency Committee on School Health be revitalized, with the help of an official advisory committee and participation of individual National Coordinating Committee on School Health member organizations at the state and local levels; (2) a formal organization with broad representation be established in every school district; (3) individual schools establish a school health committee and appoint a coordinator to oversee the school health program; and (4) to implement high-quality CSHPs, the training and utilization of competent, properly prepared personnel be expanded. Recommendations for research and evaluation of CSHPs include the following: (1) pursuing an active research agenda on CSHPs to fill critical knowledge gaps, with increased emphasis on basic research and outcome evaluation and on dissemination of these findings; (2) launching a major research effort to establish model comprehensive programs and to develop approaches to their study; and (3) studying further each of the individual components of a CSHP. Nine appendices include guidelines for CSHPs and federal funding streams for CSHPs. (LPP)

This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational health nurses (OHNs) are front-line advocates for preventing illness and injury and protecting health in a variety of workplace settings, including the areas of agriculture, construction, health care, manufacturing, and public safety. OHNs need education and training in respiratory protection in order to ensure both their safety and the safety of America's workers. At the request of the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined existing respiratory protection curricula and made recommendations to improve education and training in respiratory protection for OHNs. The IOM finds that current respiratory protection education receives varying amounts of dedicated time and resources and is taught using a variety of approaches. Several recommendations are made to improve the respiratory protection education and training of OHNs.

Specific recommendations address the content of public health education, qualifications for faculty, availability of supervised practice, opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and education, cooperation with government agencies, and government funding for education. Eight areas of critical importance to public health education in the 21st century are examined in depth: informatics, genomics, communication, cultural competence, community-based participatory research, global health, policy and law, and public health ethics. The book also includes a discussion of the policy implications of its ecological framework.
