32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Definition of health
- A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being rather than merely the absence of disease or infirmity; health is a resource for everyday living.
- Six priority risk behaviors
- CDC targets tobacco use, poor diet, inactivity, alcohol and drug use, risky sexual behavior, and behaviors causing injury or violence among adolescents.
- Chain of infection links
- Pathogen, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host; breaking any single link stops transmission.
- FITT principle
- Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type describe an activity prescription; adolescents need 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily.
- MyPlate proportions
- Half the plate is fruits and vegetables; grains and protein each fill about one quarter; added sugars should stay below ten percent of daily calories.
- Adult CPR parameters
- Compress the chest at 100 to 120 per minute to a depth of at least two inches, allow full recoil, and apply an AED as soon as available.
- Naloxone purpose
- An opioid antagonist that rapidly reverses opioid overdose by restoring breathing; it is safe to administer when overdose is suspected.
- Suicide warning signs
- Statements about being a burden, giving away possessions, withdrawal, hopelessness, and sudden calm after depression indicate elevated risk requiring referral.
- National Health Education Standards
- Eight standards covering concepts, analyzing influences, accessing information, communication, decision-making, goal-setting, practicing healthy behaviors, and advocacy.
- Backward design stages
- Identify desired results, determine acceptable evidence, then plan learning experiences and instruction; assessment is designed before activities.
- Formative versus summative
- Formative assessment occurs during instruction to adjust teaching; summative assessment measures achievement at the end of a unit or course.
- Validity and reliability
- Validity means an assessment measures what it claims; reliability means it produces consistent results across occasions, forms, or raters.
- Performance task
- An authentic assessment requiring students to apply health skills to a realistic scenario, scored with a rubric that describes levels of proficiency.
- Differentiation dimensions
- Teachers adapt content, process, or product in response to student readiness, interest, and learning profile while holding learning goals constant.
- Universal design for learning
- A planning framework providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression so varied learners can access the curriculum.
- WSCC model
- Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child framework with ten components, including health education, health services, nutrition, and social and emotional climate.
- Skills-based health curriculum
- Units pair functional health content with a National Health Education Standard skill and assess demonstrated skill performance rather than recall alone.
- Social ecological model
- Five nested levels of influence: individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy; multi-level interventions are most effective.
- Health belief model constructs
- Perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers, plus cues to action and self-efficacy, predict whether a person adopts a health behavior.
- Stages of change
- Precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance; relapse and recycling through earlier stages are normal parts of behavior change.
- Reciprocal determinism
- Bandura's principle that personal factors, behavior, and environment continuously influence one another, forming the core of social cognitive theory.
- Theory of planned behavior
- Behavior is predicted by intention, which is shaped by attitude toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.
- Social determinants of health
- Conditions where people live, learn, work, and play, including income, education, housing, and food security, that shape health outcomes and inequities.
- Protective factors
- Conditions such as family and school connectedness, caring adults, and academic engagement that reduce the likelihood of youth risk behavior.
- Adverse childhood experiences
- Potentially traumatic events in childhood that show a dose-response relationship with later chronic disease, substance use, and mental health problems.
- Media literacy skills
- Identifying source and sponsor, recognizing persuasion techniques, evaluating supporting evidence, and distinguishing correlation from causation in health claims.
- Areas of Responsibility
- The NCHEC framework of seven competencies: assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, advocacy, communication, and leadership and management.
- CHES recertification requirement
- Certified Health Education Specialists recertify every five years by earning 75 continuing education contact hours, including specified ethics hours.
- FERPA versus HIPAA
- FERPA protects student education records held by schools; HIPAA governs protected health information held by covered health care entities such as clinics.
- Mandated reporting duty
- Educators must report suspected child abuse or neglect to designated authorities and follow district policy for disclosures of self-harm or harm to others.
- Scope of practice limits
- Health educators promote and teach health but do not diagnose or treat medical conditions; they refer students to qualified providers within policy.
- Health literacy plain language
- Health materials are written at roughly a sixth- to eighth-grade reading level, use short sentences, and confirm understanding through teach-back.
