Helping Today's Canadian Students Focus On Health!Today's media-oriented students are aware of the critical health issues of the new millennium. They hear about environmental issues, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, fitness, and nutrition virtually every day. The value of the personal health course is its potential to expand students' knowledge of these and other health topics. Students will then be able to examine their attitudes toward health issues and modify their behaviour to improve their health and perhaps even prevent or delay the onset of certain health conditions. Focus on Health, First Canadian Edition, has the currency, coverage, and pedagogy aimed at helping students to think critically about Health both their own, and in general that instructors are looking for in this course.This text's engaging style, proactive features, and interactive multimedia ancillaries, all invite the diverse group of students in the undergraduate personal health course to make positive changes in their health behaviour.
