Public Health Education in High Schools

Initiated using the SMAART Model, this framework emphasizes transforming ideas into implementation through Research, Entrepreneurship, Analytics, Informatics, and Management (RE-AIM).

Why Public Health Education in High Schools?

A first-of-its-kind, scalable framework preparing youth with population thinking, leadership skills, and real-world public health engagement using RE-AIM and SMAART models.

Youth should gain exposure to the skills of population thinking through public health education. Despite its importance, public health has yet to become an essential component of high school curricula. This initiative addresses that gap.

Triple Benefit Model

  • Educational institution advancing population health literacy
  • Well-being hub connecting youth to services
  • Enabler of health-related civic and community engagement
