Abstract:
It is the responsibility of the profession to determine what is right, reasonable, and ethical health education practice. Opportunities within the profession abound to deliberate about the responsibility of health education specialists to role model positive health behaviors. Davis summarized the espoused perspectives nicely: We owe it to our profession and to our students to personally travel as far on the wellness continuum as behavioral choices will permit.... Health educators do have a special responsibility to be positive health role models by fulfilling their health potential and modeling the healthiest behaviors of which they are capable. All health educators need to accept for themselves the responsibilities that we assign to others.
