Evaluation of selected life-skill modules from the contemporary health series with students in grade

The purpose of the study was to assess the effects over a school term of selected life-skill modules from The Contemporary Health Series-Into Adolescence on scores for self-esteem, health (drug) attitudes, and behaviors of sixth-grade students. The 328 students were from classrooms assigned to either-experimental or control conditions. Analysis indicated that students exposed to selected modules from the curriculum series reported positive changes on a number of health-related variables in the questionnaire.
