Effectiveness Of Health Education Package For Enhancing Health Awareness Among Secondary School Students

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a health education package in enhancing health awareness among secondary school students. A pre-test and post-test experimental design was used, with 50 secondary school students participating in the study. The intervention, comprising a structured health education package, focused on improving students' health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Results showed significant improvements in health awareness across all components, including nutrition, physical activity, preventive healthcare, and healthy eating habits. The intervention led to substantial increases in students' understanding of health-related issues, with improvements in health attitudes and behaviors. The findings highlight the importance of health education in schools and suggest that such programs can effectively promote healthier lifestyles among adolescents. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating health education into school curricula to ensure sustained health benefits among students.
