Abstrakt: ABSTRACT: Research has shown that effective school health education depends on the effectiveness of health training for prospective teachers. This research tested the effectiveness of a university course in preparing preservice teachers in the area of school health. Education majors enrolled in the course "Drug and Health Issues for Educators" at Montana State University were administered a pretest/posttest questionnaire at the beginning and end of spring semester 2000 to gather data for testing five hypotheses. Analyses were conducted on 119-paired samples. The course appeared effective at influencing how a preservice teacher values health education in the school, their intentions to include and confidence in including health in their teaching, and their ability to provide a student with information on personal health issues.
