The official agencies, like the voluntary groups, provide research and educational services.

The Place of Health Education in the Curriculum. In U. S. public schools, health instruction has been achieved through a variety of organizational patterns. One method is to include facts on health in such content areas as biology, social studies, or home economics. Units of health related to these areas have been included in the regular classroom instruction. However, the most successful method of accomplishing the aims and objectives of health education is that of direct instruction. In this method health instruction is considered a distinct part of the total school curriculum.
