Health textbook of education pdf free download

The material is somewhat dry the way it is presented not very engaging. The textbook is written in clear language and at an appropriate reading level for college students. The textbook could easily be broken down into smaller units or sections as well as followed in a different order as indicated by a course or instructor.

The textbook is organized in a clear manner, with chapter and section titles that make it easy to follow. The textbook does include some references to culturally competent content.

It would be improved with the addition of specific examples, including data and research, about cultural differences and how these affect health. Covers a wide variety of health promotion topics, primarily at the individual level. Lacks a section on social relationships and health. Only covers romantic relationships and in ways that are culturally dated section on Married and Non-Marrieds.

Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less. I would not feel comfortable using this text in my class based on issues with accuracy. Section 1. Citations are very dated, or earlier when this edition came out in Healthy People is now out so next version should update to that as well.

Bias encountered in the chapter about relationships and communication. Only covers romantic relationships and is written with from a heteronomative perspective that also centers marriage and is stigmatizing to those who are not married.

Also refers to attempts to legalize same sex marriage in this chapter, which has been legal for years now. Wikipedia is used as a reference in Chapter 2. Chapter 6 discusses "options" for unplanned pregnancy including taking care of yourself, talking to a counselor, quitting smoking and does not mention abortion as an option.

HPV vaccination recommendations need to be updated. All topics are relevant but the supporting statistics are outdated by more than a decade in many places. Years are not included in many statistics, nor in the citation at the end of the chapter.

The sections read as rather disjointed. Chapters could be more aligned and have improved flow for the reader to understand how concepts are related. For example, going right into theoretical models of behavior change in Chapter 1 is early and advanced for an introductory text.

In the Introduction it states the book is about health, health education, and health promotion. Since health promotion is broader than health education, and fits the topics of the book, it is not clear why this is not the title instead.

This book could be useful for an introduction to health promotion class but instructors may overlook it because of the name. Some chapters contain no in text citations despite stating facts, while others contain many. Reference lists and in text citations are formatted differently in different chapters. Almost too modular, not clear how some sections relate and there is not a lot of detail in many subsections.

The sections within each chapter often seem disjointed and do not include enough detail in each section. In many chapters, only weblinks are provided as citations.

If the link is broken, there is no title, author, journal or year for reference. Figures included without citations ex: Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Includes examples and text of people of multiple races and ethnicities. Is not inclusive based on sexual orientation and in terms of the way it discusses marriage and relationships. The cover does not appropriately capture what the book includes.

Health is multi-dimensional and includes in addition to physical - mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational aspects, which the book acknowledges in the text. Hair and clothing style of people on cover also look outdated. This book was developed for a Health class. It covers a wide variety of personally relevant health topics, with segments defining health, discussing "your bodies response to stress," describing threats to environmental health, and offering a Comprehensiveness rating: 5 see less.

It covers a wide variety of personally relevant health topics, with segments defining health, discussing "your bodies response to stress," describing threats to environmental health, and offering a guide to "understanding your health care choices," which includes both nationally relevant and California-specific information. The index is detailed and specific. There is no glossary. This textbook would be appropriate for a lower division personal health course. Some components would be useful in an introductory public health course, such as the "Introduction to Health," "Infectious Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections," and "Health Care Choices" secgments.

Book provides accurate information with clear references to unbiased sources such as the CDC for rates of diseases. The book is appropriately accessible for lower division students, with clear definitions of relevant vocabulary. Good discussion of health disparities, acknowledges cultural components in health. Is not insensitive or offensive. The Health Education book covered all the components usually found in other basic health books.

It can be utilized as an Open Textbook for students taking the introduction to health or the basic health course, such as HED - Personal and It can be utilized as an Open Textbook for students taking the introduction to health or the basic health course, such as HED - Personal and Community Health. Some of the data is just a little outdated but can be updated very easily with an article or current chart.

The cover should be a picture that depicts diversity as well as showing more diversity throughout the book. The textbook successfully covers a wide array of health education topics. Overall, I would have liked to have seen Overall, I would have liked to have seen more case studies, illustrations, examples, and quick quizzes to reinforce the content presented and to reach students with different learning styles.

Many of the sub-topics could be even more robust with the addition of information on auto-immune disorders for example or a section on health education professionals like personal trainers and health coaches or information on what to do if you suspect a food-borne illness and how to access help. The contributors have done a great job of presenting accurate information but it is now outdated in many sections and chapters which is what happens in textbooks generally. The language and presentation of material appears unbiased.

The addition of more graphics and examples that cross demographics, cultures, and races would be a welcome addition.

I found no factual errors but did question the notion that gluten-free diets can assist with anemia and wondered if research about the resilience gene in children might be referenced. The research presented is all or before with an emphasis on information. Sections about marijuana and cannabis, infertility, social disorder, and smoking need refreshing.

It would be helpful to have information about genetic testing 23 and me and Live Wello added, functional fitness addressed, and infectious disease content brought up to date. So much has happened affecting people's health has transpired since that it is time for updating. Also, more information in sections like how baby birth weight can predict chronic disease development and mindfulness as a practice for improved quality of life.

Content is presented in clear, concise and appropriate language. Every once in a while there is a sentence structure issue or a word ordering that is clarified by a re-read. There is not an emphasis on jargon or overuse of idioms in my opinion. All terminology was defined or given reference as to where to locate additional information. Again the use of diagrams, illustrations, more examples would also improve clarity and accessibility for some.

I did not recall seeing information on how many calories are in a gram of protein, carbohydrate and fat presented. And relevance affects clarity. For example, including language about portal of entry and exit in the infectious disease section.

Having a quick quiz at the end of every chapter would have added consistency. Also standardized formatting for charts and graphics would improve the textbook overall as well.

The chapters, sections and headings all appear consistently presented. There was nothing presented that was jarring or appeared out of context. References looked similar and were all summarized at the end of each chapter. Modularity was this textbook's strength. Large chunks of information were broken down into manageable sections and sub-sections and the white space was appreciated. Because of this, the information did not seem overwhelming or "too much too fast.

Again, more examples, quizzes or case studies could also improve modularity and add an interest factor. The table of contents was thorough. Time was taken to decide which chapters and topics should be presented in which order.

The flow was organic, natural and later sections built on previous information. The structure of the textbook made sense and usually my questions about a topic or subject were answered within the same page. I had no complaints about organization and could find sections easily based on the table of contents.

No interface issues for me, but I was reading on a personal computer and perhaps on a tablet or phone there would be. The paragraph spacing was not what I would have chosen. There were some inconsistencies. There are contractions like isn't which I prefer not to see in textbooks because it is too casual a style for me. Many instances of punctuation coming after quotations, but this may have been a style choice. The font seemed appropriate but more bolding or color would keep the reader's attention.

There are spelling errors on the food chart on p. Some issues with singular vs. For example on P. A few places where punctuation is missing. The text is not culturally insensitive, but without additional examples, graphics, and diverse charts it becomes a bit bland.

The reference to a handgun on p. Under weight management, there could be more information presented on how different cultures appreciate varying body types and have different food rituals and discussion on how not to "fat shame" others. Some examples of cultural influences could be presented in the infectious disease section like how practices for burying the dead can lead to disease and how food preparation affects disease management.

I thought it was comprehensive and well organized. If it were not for relevance issues, I would choose to use this book in our general health class. Health education is an enormous subject area but this text does an excellent job covering the most important topics.

The comprehensive nature of it topic coverage does come at the cost of not being comprehensive within any single topic- this book The comprehensive nature of it topic coverage does come at the cost of not being comprehensive within any single topic- this book is an overview that provides an excellent framework for further study and exploration.

Topics within Health Education are inherently subject to bias- religious, cultural and generational perspectives often influence the scientific and open-minded exploration of issues in topics like sexuality, nutrition, and relationships.

This book clearly strives to support perspectives with research and did not shy away from topics like abortion and gender roles. The greatest weakness of this text is that it often feels outdated. Health information is dynamic and no text can always be current, but there are sections that are clearly too old to be considered useful unto themselves.

Examples: The narcotic abuse epidemic is absent. This is a major issue in substance abuse and the text primarily looks at heroin abuse without examining the larger issue of prescription narcotic gateways to abuse, or even other narcotics of abuse.

The section covering sexual orientation and gender identity cites the Janus Report for its source of statistics. There is no publication date listed in the text- the latest citation that I noticed was but most come well before , making the text a decade old in a field that changes rapidly. The Acknowledgements page at the front of the book states that it was "compiled by There is no consistency is the writing of the book.

Some chapters are broken down into Sections, brief often only a paragraph long collections of sentences that seem to address a behavioral objective that we do not see. Other chapters are written like a standard text and then some appear in a question-and-answer format. None of these are inherently problematic, but the changing style may trouble some readers. Chapters are well organized- there is no logical order into which one must teach the various issues of health.

The readings of this text could easily be sequenced as desired by the instructor. The interface is clean and simple. Overall the text seems fair and cites studies to provide evidence of its claims, though some sections simply feel less than open-minded.

In the discussion of marriage vs. Statistically, perhaps, but is there a causal relationship? Some people, yes, but it's not a global truth. Race is never addressed as a topic within the text, though it is commonly listed when a risk factor of disease, health care disparity, etc. If updated, this would be a superb book. As it stands, it provides an excellent framework for a college course in General Health from which the instructor, or students, could be directed to contemporary writings on these issues.

An instructor could readily assign chapter readings and then short research projects that would that could be shared with the class as a whole to assure present day relevance. The textbook covers a variety of topics in a choppy sequence jumping from three chapters on sexuality and sexual health to substance abuse then onto nutrition.

The book was limited in depth and many areas needed additional explanation. There are There are many lists that did not have the background explanations to support the lists. Several areas were lacking details and were not at college level. The text was generally accurate, but lacked backup documentations. Several phrases or statements appeared subjective without the supportive documentation that could lead to misinterpretation.

For example, page , Section 6. On page , section 7. The textbook was written in and is still current today. Because of the changing nature of health, it will need updating. The text was basic and often used lists without additional explanations. Many sections were too brief leaving the reader confused. Page contained an example of a diet list. The list for 4 healthy diet approaches was followed by confusing numbering.

The structural set up of headings and subheadings were consistent, but occasionally spacing was off. Getting rid of excess fat in problem areas? Are you starting to feel more energetic?
