As chapter one states, this resource book trys to explore some new ways of thinking about health education, its needs, and its opportunities. Chapter two attempts to define health and discusses how education affects one's behavior and attitudes towards health. Chapter three deals with various health problems in the United States today and possible solutions. Chapter four discusses how young learners vary in mental, emotional, social, and physical growth. Chapters five and six deal with scientific and non-scientific approaches to, and varying attitudes toward, medicine, education, and health, and how an individual's motives and attitudes can affect health-related behavior. Chapter seven describes the mental, social, and physical risks which people take, involving activities such as sports, drinking, taking drugs, and sex.

Health and health education in an ecological perspective are discussed in chapter nine.

Chapters eleven, twelve, and thirteen discuss curriculum development, learning and teaching strategies, and various teaching materials and resources.
