[School health education in California. The policies and contents of The Health Framework].
This paper introduces school health education activities in California. We focus on The Health Framework published by the California Department of Education. It describes the policies, objectives, and contents of health education for California public schools. This framework emphasizes health literacy for students and a comprehensive school health system that supports effective health education and make health an important priority at the school. The nine content areas presented by the framework describe health concepts, skills, and behaviors important for students. We analyzed this framework and its background including the trend of school health education in the United States and other health education related activities in California. Finally we compared the framework with school health education in Japan.
