Abstract:
The school is becoming an increasingly popular site for child health nursing. Whether or not practitioners are advanced practice nurses (APNs), school nurses, or graduate or undergraduate nursing students, they can provide effective health promotion and primary prevention in the schools. This article reports on the state of the science regarding cholesterol, nutrition, and exercise education with teens and describes a health promotion program about this topic with 23 high school biology students. Outcomes indicate that an adolescent population of high school biology students can be receptive to education about their health behaviors.
