Approach to Health Education

CDC encourages school districts and schools to take action to ensure that health education is medically accurate, age and developmentally appropriate, and affirms the diversity of youth and their communities to enhance health knowledge, skills, and behaviors.

As part of a school-based health education program, sexual health education uses learning objectives, lessons, materials, and assessments that help prevent HIV/STD, unintended pregnancy, and related risk behaviors among adolescents.

Health education, including sexual health, should:

Provide health information that is accurate, appropriate, and directly contributes to health-promoting decisions and behaviors

Ensure all youth are provided with opportunities to build skills needed to protect themselves and others from HIV and other STDs, and unintended pregnancy

Address the needs of youth who are not having sex as well as youth who are currently sexually active

Consistently include topics and gender identities that are culturally relevant and affirming for LGBTQ+ and other youth

Align with adolescent health data, that are relevant to school policies and practices, and community priorities and values

Use direct, active involvement from students, parents, and community partners

See CDC’s What Works: Sexual Health Education to learn more about effective ways schools can provide youth with the essential knowledge and skills needed to decrease sexual risk behaviors.

CDC Activities & Initiatives

Beyond sexual health education, broader school health programs can help students adopt lifelong attitudes and behaviors that support their health and wellbeing – including behaviors that can reduce their risk for substance use , experiencing violence, and poor mental health . 1-3

CDC provides program guidance  on how to increase student access to health education by encouraging schools to:

• Establish and implement skills-based health education courses
• Develop a health education scope and sequence to identify student health behavior outcomes, knowledge and skills expectations across a diverse set of topic areas
• Select, develop, or adapt health education lessons, activities, and assessments that are inclusive and affirming for all youth, including LGBTQ+ youth
• Provide training for health education teachers to effectively implement instructional programs
• Consistently engage key school and community members to improve school health education programs
• Involve parents, guardians, and caregivers in health education instructional programs

What’s Working: Success Stories

Learn more about how CDC-funded school districts are expanding implementation of quality sexual health education in middle and high school.

The Institute offers its Master of Health Professions Education (MS-HPEd) at Alfaisal University, in Saudi Arabia’s capital city of Riyadh. Students will experience a “hybrid” learning environment - 70% of the class sessions for Alfaisal students are held on campus.

Alfaisal students are integrated into the part-time, two-year program with other international and U.S.- based students. They may choose between two tracks within the MS-HPEd: Simulation-Based Education (SBE) to improve their teaching skills in healthcare simulation, and Simulation Operations for administrators, directors, and technical specialists looking to acquire skills in simulation program administration, leadership, and management of simulation technologies to support simulation-based education.

The MS-HPEd program at Alfaisal University  includes all the same admissions and pre-enrollment requirements listed on this application requirements page. Please select the "MS-HPEd (Onsite at Alfaisal University)" on your online application for consideration in this program.

The most important and exciting aspect of earning a PhD is the opportunity to master a subfield related to your work and experience while conducting original scholarship that contributes to your subfield and pushes it forward. Students come to MGH Institute from all areas of healthcare with a variety of goals. We offer students an opportunity to apply once, to our MS-HPEd program, and continue through to their PhD without another application. This is especially valuable to students with less experience in health professions education. Our faculty are available to meet with you to help you decide what path is right for you.

Career Outlook

With community health a concern throughout the United States and around the globe, the need for health educators and community health workers is on the rise.

Through 2032, employment is projected to grow 7% for health education specialist positions. Growth is driven by efforts to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs through promotion of healthy behaviors. 1

In 2022, the BLS reported a median annual wage for health education specialists of $59,990 , with the highest 10% earning more than $106,210 . 1

Understanding the Numbers When reviewing job growth and salary information, it’s important to remember that actual numbers can vary due to many different factors — like years of experience in the role, industry of employment, geographic location, worker skill and economic conditions. Cited projections do not guarantee actual salary or job growth.

Health education specialists can work in a variety of settings. According to the BLS, here are the top 5 employers of community health workers and health educators: 1

• Hospitals – state, local and private
• Individual and family services
• Religious, grantmaking, civic, professional and similar organizations
• Outpatient care centers

The BLS notes that while health educators typically need at least a bachelor's degree, some organizations also require Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) credentials. 2 The CHES credential is offered through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC).

SNHU's online BS in Community Health Education program can help prepare you for a variety of roles within the high-growth public health education field, including:

Community Health Educator

Educate people about the availability of healthcare services in their area.

Wellness Manager

Develop health and wellness programs for a community or corporate organization.

Patient Educator

Coordinate treatment programs and address questions from patients and families.

Social and Community Service Manager

Coordinate and supervise programs and organizations that support public well-being.

"I thought to myself … imagine what I would learn from this degree program and what I could accomplish from there," Amato said.

The BS in Community Health Education program is designed to help you build a strong foundation from which you can use to launch the next chapter of your life. Whether you wish to go straight into the field or want to continue your education by earning a master's in public health online , this program can help you get there.

Courses & Curriculum

When you earn your health education degree online at SNHU, you've completed a program that was designed to set you up for success in the health field – created by subject-matter experts who know the skills you need to have under your belt. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cites some of those important qualities 1 as:

• Analytical and problem-solving skills. Health education specialists collect and evaluate data to determine the needs of the people they serve. They may need to solve problems that arise in planning programs, such as budget constraints or resistance from the community they serve.
• Instructional skills. Health education specialists and community health workers lead programs, teach classes and facilitate discussion with clients and families.
• Interpersonal skills. Health education specialists and community health workers interact with people from a variety of backgrounds. They must be good listeners and be empathetic in responding to the needs of people they serve.

SNHU's bachelor's in community health education prepares you for the professional certification examination to become a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) offered through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC). According to NCHEC, the CHES credential shows employers that you've mastered the Seven Areas of Responsibility for health education specialists, outlined in the Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis project. 2 Those areas are:

• Administer and manage health education/promotion
• Assess needs, resources and capacity for health education/promotion
• Communicate, promote and advocate for health, health education/promotion and the profession
• Conduct evaluation and research related to health education/promotion
• Implement health education/promotion
• Plan health education/promotion
• Serve as a health education/promotion resource person

The curriculum in the community health education degree provides you with 12 credits of electives within your program – meaning you get the opportunity to choose 4 courses in community health education, integrated health professions and public health education.

"I have learned so much in the years since I have been a student," said student Jacqueline Graham . "This major is wonderful, and the courses are interesting. There is so much to learn."

Plus, the community health degree program has plenty of free elective space overall. That's ideal for students with transfer credits, or even those who want to broaden their skill set and explore areas of interest.

Daniel Amato '21 was one student who brought a lot of credits into his program.

"I transferred credits to SNHU, which helped me complete my degree much faster," he said. "My credits ended up completing all my electives, so all I had to do for my community health education degree was my core classes. It was much quicker than I thought it would be."

Classes are taught by instructors who have experience in the field.

"The instructors at SNHU are so very helpful, and they all want their students to succeed," Graham said. "They are very accessible, so you will never feel alone or that you cannot have access to them because it is online."

Amato agreed.

"My instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about community health education," he said. "They allowed all of us to bring our own experiences into the classroom and use them within our studies. It made for a fun learning environment, because we got to read each other's stories and bounce ideas off each other."

“Before I took the course, I felt alone and overwhelmed dealing with my daughter’s mental illness. By taking this course, I have met others who are going through the same things I am and have learned about many resources that I never knew existed.”

“I thought my wife and I knew just about everything there is to know about the system and the illness. Boy, were we wrong. Without a doubt, this is the best support course I have had the privilege of taking part in, bar none.”

Catawba County Library System: Leveraging Healthy People 2030 Objectives and Community Partnerships to Deliver More than Books

This blog post is part of our quarterly series highlighting the work of Healthy People 2030 Champion organizations . Healthy People 2030 Champions are organizations recognized for their work to improve the health and well-being of people in their communities and to help achieve Healthy People 2030’s goals. 

Catawba County Library System in Western North Carolina serves a population of more than 160,000 people. While providing traditional services, like helping patrons access books and other information resources, is a key part of the library’s role, Collaborative Services Librarian Erica Derr emphasizes that the library offers much more: “Our work is really about making living better — for everyone.” 

The library carries out this work by offering creative programming in 3 main areas: lifelong learning, health and wellness, and job and career development. It works closely with a variety of community partners to create and sustain these programs, which support several Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) and other Healthy People 2030 objectives.

Creating opportunities for lifelong learning

Like libraries across the nation, Catawba County Library System considers education an essential part of its work. “I remind people all the time that the best way to keep your brain fit is to learn something new that challenges your brain,” Derr says.

The library offers many programs that support education-related Healthy People 2030 objectives, including:

• AH-05: Increase the proportion of 4th-graders with reading skills at or above the proficient level 
• AH-R04: Increase the proportion of 8th-graders with reading skills at or above the proficient level
• AH-08: Increase the proportion of high school students who graduate in 4 years

Specifically, the library promotes reading proficiency at all ages through programs like story times, opportunities to read aloud to therapy dogs, reading challenges, and partnerships with area schools. It also offers a range of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities for elementary students, teen-specific programming on topics like 3D printing and coding, and opportunities for adults to improve their digital literacy skills. 

Many of these educational programs take place at one of the library’s 7 branches. However, for county residents living in rural areas, getting to the library’s physical locations can be challenging. That’s where its mobile library, Catawba County Library to Go, comes in. The mobile library is a van loaded with furniture, rugs, tables, and (of course) books. It travels to areas of the county that don’t have a library branch or where residents tend to face transportation barriers — like nursing homes. Library to Go offers much of the same programming that county residents can access at physical branches, including story times for young readers, robotics and virtual reality devices for children and teens, and job application support for adults. 

Bringing services directly to residents is one way the library addresses social determinants of health (like lack of transportation access), a Healthy People 2030 priority area. Other efforts include providing free coats, diapers, and food in a safe, nonjudgmental space, which aligns with Healthy People LHIs like NWS-01: Reduce household food insecurity and hunger .

“Equity is so important to us at the library, so we try hard to provide the same opportunities and resources to everyone in the county — and Library to Go makes that possible, ” says Derr.

Helping patrons get active — in and out of the library

In addition to helping patrons keep their minds sharp, Catawba County Library System encourages them to take care of their bodies. It even sets goals for staff to help boost its health and wellness programming — and ultimately help improve the health of the community. For example, Derr’s goal in 2023 was to facilitate at least 25 programs to foster healthy eating, active living, behavioral health, and chronic disease prevention. 

Under its umbrella of health and wellness programming, the library is working to foster an interest in physical activity and lower barriers to participating by making programs fun, free, and safe — efforts that closely align with Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator PA-05: Increase the proportion of adults who do enough aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity . 

The library partners with fitness organizations and exercise instructors to deliver a wide range of free fitness classes, including yoga and Zumba, at different library branches. This is especially important, Derr says, because “not every neighborhood is safe to exercise in, and we want people to know the library is a safe space for them.” She says the classes consistently draw between 10 and 40 participants. 

One librarian, a certified yoga instructor, leads a range of yoga classes at her library branch, including chair yoga and gentle stretching to provide options for all ages. She also offers a monthly session in Catawba County’s newest park, Mountain Creek Park, to help library patrons enjoy the benefits of yoga and gain the positive health impacts of being in nature. The library sponsors other physical activity programs and wellness-related events out in the community. For example, it facilitates a weekly meet-up in community parks that includes a tai chi warm-up followed by an hourlong hike during all but the coldest times of year. Additionally, staff host programs at the library’s community garden, where patrons can connect socially, get their hands dirty, and learn about growing fresh foods.

“Our health and wellness programs are a huge priority for us,” says Derr. “I’m proud to say that so far this fiscal year [as of early March 2024], we’ve facilitated over 140 health and wellness programs across the library system — and since the fiscal year ends in June, we still have a few months to go!”

Empowering job seekers with Wi-Fi, workspaces, and skill-building

Catawba County Library System also prioritizes helping community members find jobs — an effort that’s closely related to another Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator: SDOH-02: Increase employment in working-age people . 

When it comes to supporting job seekers, one of the most important roles the library plays is providing free, reliable Wi-Fi in its buildings. That’s because limited access to reliable internet is a major barrier for people in the county who need to find jobs. Derr notes that 15 percent of county residents don’t have broadband internet access “because the infrastructure is not there to support it. For that to improve, it’ll take an investment in that infrastructure.” Until that time comes, the library is there to help. 

In addition to providing Wi-Fi across its branches, the library installed 5 soundproof booths equipped with videoconferencing technology that patrons can use for virtual job interviews or meetings, telehealth visits, online classes, court proceedings, or tutoring sessions. The library also works closely with NCWorks, a state-sponsored careers program, to hold events where career specialists and librarians help job seekers improve their interview skills, write résumés, and fill out job applications. 

Just like with its education and physical activity programs, Catawba County Library System also gets creative to support job seekers and their families. One Sunday each month, the library deploys the Library to Go van to a laundromat in the town of Long View so people can connect to the van’s Wi-Fi and get help with job applications and résumés. The Library to Go librarian offers story time for children during these visits, too.

The library specifically chose Long View for this outreach because it has the lowest life expectancy in the county, according to Census tract data. “This outreach has really been an asset to our community,” Derr says. “It’s a consistent and reliable source of support for people who need it most.”

Lessons Learned

When it comes to producing high-quality programs for patrons, Derr says working with the right community partners is key. She shares some ideas about how to find the right organizations to partner with and ensure things run smoothly:

Get involved in the community.

Knowing about the work that other community-based organizations are doing has been essential for Catawba County Library System to find new partners. Along with representatives from 50 other area nonprofits, Derr attends the Catawba County United Way Interagency Council meeting — where each organization shares information about its work and the resources it needs.

Team up with partners to make programs easier to access.

Working with community partners expands the number and types of venues you can use for your events — which can make them accessible to more people. Think about where in the community people are spending their time and whether there’s a potential partner that can help you reach them there — similar to how Catawba County Library System brings Library to Go to the laundromat. And consider using publicly funded spaces, like parks, for events promoting health and wellness.

Remember that working with other organizations helps you — and them.

Derr notes that working with the library can help partner organizations meet their own objectives, a point that may help potential partners get on board with a collaboration. “In many cases, we’re helping them meet their outreach goals while also helping our library patrons accomplish some things that they want to accomplish.”

Get on the same page — and then document it!

Derr says it’s important to be up front with partners about any guidelines or rules they need to follow (for example, programs at the library must be completely free and nothing can be sold). She also suggests documenting each partner’s roles and responsibilities — and how much they’ll spend — before starting on the work.

Owensboro Health Offers New Diabetes Education Programs

Owensboro Health Healthpark is offering two new programs to help combat diabetes in the community.

The first program, the Prediabetes Education and Exercise Program (PEEP), is a 12-week diabetes prevention class designed and led by Healthpark Dietitians and Exercise Physiologists. The program is designed to help participants reduce their risk of Type 2 diabetes by changing their eating habits, maximizing sleep and reducing stress. Participants will also get 30 minutes of exercise during each class.

“More than 1/3 of American adults have prediabetes and are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The good news is that lifestyle change can reverse prediabetes and reduce a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes and the other associated health risks,” Shelby Shelby, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, said. “Our PEEP class is designed to teach participants what they can do to prevent diabetes, and we incorporate exercise into every class to break down barriers to being more active.”

Classes for PEEP start June 6 at 4:30 p.m. To learn more about the program and for information on cost, call 270-688-4804 or email [email protected]. Financial assistance options are available for qualified participants.

In addition to PEEP, Owensboro Health Healthpark has launched a Juvenile Diabetes Support Group. This support group caters specifically to parents and caregivers of children with diabetes. It provides a welcoming and supportive environment where parents and caregivers can connect, share experiences, offer encouragement, and gather valuable resources. The group aims to foster a sense of community and empowerment among those navigating the challenges of caring for a child with diabetes. The inaugural meeting of the Juvenile Diabetes Support Group will be held on Monday, April 22, from 5-6 p.m. at the Healthpark in Classroom A. This initial meeting serves to gauge interest and determine the optimal meeting time for the group.

“Children with Type 1 diabetes often feel isolated,” Melissa Gaither, registered dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, said. “The daily demands of managing Type 1 diabetes are difficult to understand for those who do not have it. This support group’s goal is to provide a place where children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents can meet each other and help each other with management challenges.”

Interested individuals can register for the meeting or seek further information by calling 270-688-4858 or emailing [email protected].

These two new programs at Owensboro Health Healthpark demonstrate the organization's commitment to improving the health and well-being of the community. By offering targeted support and comprehensive education, Owensboro Health Healthpark empowers individuals and families affected by diabetes to take control of their health and live healthier lives.

Education | All state prisons to get higher education program through University System of Maryland partnership

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is partnering with the University System of Maryland for a program that will allow incarcerated people to pursue higher education at all state prisons, the department announced last week.

Incarcerated people will be able to earn bachelor’s degrees and credit-based certificates at any of the 12 universities within the USM through federal Pell Grants, according to a news release.

The department and the USM signed a memorandum of understanding, the first time a division of correction and a state university system have taken this formalized step, the release says. Both MDPSCS Secretary Carolyn J. Scruggs and USM Chancellor Jay A. Perman called the move “historic” in the release.

“At the University System, we believe that the foundational aim of higher education is to improve the human condition and serve the public good,” Perman said. “This partnership is unmatched in advancing these goals. By allowing more incarcerated people to access college and to put their education to work after release, we’re not only expanding opportunities for these students, we’re strengthening the communities they return to.”

Each university will sign an agreement with the MDPSCS as an addendum to the memorandum of understanding outlining the academic program offered. The education services will be a tool for mental health and reintegration, the department said.

“The department is hyper-focused on ensuring access to education at any educational level in every prison in the state but also to impart on them the skills necessary so they can gain an income and support their families as they reenter society,” Scruggs said in the release.

Incarcerated people who receive an education while behind bars are 48% less likely to return to prison, and they increase employment prospects and earnings, said Andrea Cantora, a professor in the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Baltimore, a USM institution. She’s also the director of UB’s Second Chance College Program , which already offers postsecondary education to students incarcerated at the Jessup Correctional Institution through federal funding.

For more than a decade, Baltimore’s Goucher College has also had a prison education program in which students can earn a bachelor’s degree. Its format could be an example for the state because the average prisoner in the program graduates with over a 3.0 grade point average, said Meredith Conde, director of operations and prison affairs for the Goucher Prison Education Partnership.

“High quality is key. As Pell expands, it is imperative that colleges build rigorous in-person programs that are relationship-based,” Conde said. “That’s what makes GPEP so successful. You will not get the same results by passing out tablets and having students work in isolation.”
