1 School Health Education Program Health literacy through student service-learning Results A one-group pre test-post test design was used with a mixed analysis of variance, including one-nested factor of high school, and two-repeated measure factors of time (pre versus post) on content knowledge and confidence in health decisions. Six high schools participated in the program, with a new cohort in the fall and spring semesters (n = 1,772). All cohorts improved their knowledge (p<.0001) and confidence (p <.0001) in making health decisions after the medical student presentations. Medical students also gained from the experience, believing that they had a positive influence on adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward health (p<.05) and were comfortable in providing clear and concise health education (p<.05). Qualitative analysis revealed that 90% of medical student participants felt they improved their knowledge regarding adolescent health issues, teaching skills, research, and social responsibility.

2 SHEP Pre and Post Scores Knowledge by all years and all schools Pre and post means converted to percentage of correct answers. n = 1,714 (sd) Year pre post Fall 2002 (19.86) (14.22) Spring 2003 (16.51) (13.41) Fall 2003 (14.13) (11.97) Spring 2004 (14.30) (11.92) Fall 2004 (14.13) (12.33) Spring 2005 (12.09) (11.78) p<.0001 p<.0001 p<.0001

3 SHEP Pre and Post Scores Confidence by all years and all schools Key: 1 = Strongly disagree – 5 = Strongly agree n = 1,714 (sd) Year pre post Fall 2002 (.70) (.62) Spring 2003 (.55) (.52) Fall 2003 (.56) (.47) Spring 2004 (.52) (.45) Fall 2004 (.52) (.46) Spring 2005 (.48) (.44) p<.0001 p<.0001 p<.0001

4 SHEP Pre-test Knowledge Scores by Class Type Health Education/Health Occupation Pre and post means converted to percentage of correct answers. n = 1,457 Castle and Waipahu High were the two health occupation classes until the Fall of 2003. Farrington High was the only Health Occupations class in Spring and Fall 2004.

5 SHEP Medical Student Evaluation Confidence teaching adolescent health education Pre and post mean for 2004 Likert Scale, 1=Strongly disagree, 5=Strongly agree p<.05 p<.05
