Institute Of Health: Official agencies are those supported by tax moneys. These agencies exist at the national, state, and local levels. The National Institute of Health, the Consumer Protection and EnvironŽmental Health Service, and Health Services and Mental Health Administration are all part of the U. S. Public Health Service. This national agency is part of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Two major federal agenŽcies engaged in areas of hereditary research are the National Institutes of Health (including, for example, the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute for Child Health and HuŽman Development) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The space program has generated a great deal of genetic research in connection with its major purpose of projectŽing and maintaining man in space. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also employs scienŽtists working in applied genetic research, parŽticularly on plants and animals that have ecoŽnomic value.See Also Good Health:World War II brought a renewed focus on the role of the school in promoting good health. The traditional equating of health with physical fitness, and health education with physical eduŽcation, was further perpetuated during this peŽriod. During the 1960's this concept was replaced by the identification of health education as a discipline separate from physical education. The School Health Education Study, initiated with private funds in 1961, had the most significant impact in establishing health education as a separate discipline.
In 1968 the Public Health Service was reorŽganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health AdministraŽtion, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug AdminisŽtration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
On The Other Hand See Place Of Health Education:About 70 colleges and universities offer programs to train health education teachers, and the profession is growing. Members of the proŽfession feel strongly that health education should not be considered a part of physical education and that physical education should not be a branch of health education. Some high schools now give a half year to physical education and a half year to health instruction.
The Place of Health Education in the Curriculum. In U. S. public schools, health instruction has been achieved through a variety of organizational patterns. One method is to include facts on health in such content areas as biology, social studies, or home economics. Units of health reŽlated to these areas have been included in the regular classroom instruction. However, the most successful method of accomplishing the aims and objectives of health education is that of direct inŽstruction. In this method health instruction is considered a distinct part of the total school curriculum. |
