Subject: DATABASES: EDUCATION AND ERIC : HEALTH EDUCATION AND INFORMATION:
Using the EBSCO Elementary Secondary Education Database for Adolescent and
Adult Health Education Knowledge
This is a series of search steps in the free EBSCO database:
Teacher Reference Center (TRC) - Journal Information for K-12 Teachers &
Librarians
<http://www.TeacherReference.com>
There is a discussion of this database in this Net-Gold post that also
describes another free EBSCO database as well. That discussion
illustrates a simple search using the EBSCO search software as well.

It is important to use databases which many public libraries provide for
those without a connection with a database providing higher education
institution. This importance lies in the fact that databases contain a
defined information content such as indexing only a specific group of
journals and / or popular magazines and thus preventing the advertisements
and poor quality hits found in response to many internet search engine
searches. Secondly, the searching software of many database providers
like EBSCO is complex and allows once learned very precise detailed
multi-step searches for the content or subject one is researching.
In the above example of a search, all of the specific phrase searches were
combined into one step in the final step so that one may see all of the
results in a single group.
This is a brief sample of the articles found in that last search step.

Title: Improving the Dietary Patterns of Adolescents Using a

Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently
reported that 16-33% of children and adolescents in the United States are
overweight or obese, making this the number one nutritional disease of
this group. The prevalence appears to be increasing annually, as are the
associated consequences. Moreover, the CDC estimates that less than 50% of
adolescents are physically active on a regular basis. In order to improve
the health of these individuals, an intervention must be focused to modify
these behaviors. Facilitating the understanding of proper nutrition and
need for physical activity among adolescents will likely prevent health
problems such as overweight and obesity and the development of chronic
diseases later in life. Despite these concerns, adolescents remain one of
the most underserved populations in terms of preventive services. In the
past, health education interventions have shown increases in knowledge;
however, the ultimate goal of these programs is to positively impact
behavior. To accomplish this, we must focus on the learning styles of
todays adolescents. Computer-based interventions allow for individualized
strategies to promote healthy lifestyles. A computer-based intervention
program has the potential to elicit a greater behavior change in
comparison to a traditional didactic intervention program. (J Sch Health.
