摘要

ABSTRACTThe School Health Curriculum Project (SHCP) and three promising health education approaches, Project Prevention, 3 Rs and High Blood Pressure (HBP), and Health Education Curriculum Guide, were the curricula used in the School Health Education Evaluation (SHEE) project. This paper contains program descriptions of each, and a brief description of the process that led to their selection.Inclusion of the School Health Curriculum Project (SHCP) was mandated by the use of government funds to support the SHEE. The three alternative curricula, Project Prevention, 3 Rs and High Blood Pressure, and Health Education Curriculum Guide, were selected on the basis of a protocol devised jointly by contractors, government project officers, and the project advisory panel.
