What topics should be included in middle and high school health education?
September 16, 2016
Health education is required for most middle and high school students in the United States, but the content varies from state to state, and even from district to district.

We asked parents of children in middle or high school about what health topics should be covered by schools. The results of this new National Poll on Children’s Health will be published next week. Sign up for our email list to make sure you get the report as soon as it’s available.
