Questionnaire research into health-related behavior in the United Kingdom

Health Education is concerned with more than medical health. It embraces the social context of the individual and is inseparable from personal and social development. A questionnaire developed in the United Kingdom to obtain health-related behavior profiles has been completed by 45,000 young people. The results are being used by schools to aid internal curriculum development, and they constitute an extensive data bank for further research. Cross-cultural use of the instrument may foster profitable exchanges of information both at the school and research levels.
