Definition
- The purpose of school-based consumer health education is to prepare students to develop abilities for making informed, intelligent, noncoerced, and financially sound decisions about selecting and benefiting from products, services, facilities, practitioners, and information resources marketed for purposes relevant to personal health maintenance, enhancement, or protection. Consumer health education requires carefully planned, developmentally appropriate K–12 instruction by qualified teachers in order to cultivate requisite knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
