Reductions in state and federal funding for K\u201012 public education and increased demands on educators to prioritize standardized academic outcomes versus focusing on the whole child encompass many factors leading to fewer qualified teachers and reduced quality of HE delivery within schools.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A content analysis of over 300 HE teacher preparation programs throughout the United States was conducted from 2019 to 2020 to assess available and required curriculum for pre\u2010service HE teachers. Seven curriculum areas were reviewed: nutrition, physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE), HE, chronic disease management (CDM), social emotional learning and mental health (SEL\/MH), drug abuse and tobacco prevention (DA\/TP), and a methods course in teaching HE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings indicated program type influenced course offerings, with stand\u2010alone HE and joint HE\/PE programs providing the most comprehensive curriculum. Most programs required courses in general HE, PA and PE, and nutrition. Programs were deficient in offering courses in CDM, DA\/TP, and SEL\/MH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>This article contains recommendations to improve the quality of HE delivery in public schools, for example by ensuring that school health educators are trained in providing skills\u2010based HE to youth, which can assist in addressing child and youth health outcomes (eg, CDM, mental health) for the nation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/josh.13475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]],"date-time":"2024-06-18T00:28:46Z","timestamp":1718670526000},"page":"697-707","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Quality of Health Education Teacher Preparation Program Curricula Throughout the United States"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"94","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3690-6173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachael D.","family":"Dombrowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University San Marcos  San Marcos CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Mallare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wayne State University  Detroit MI USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9318-0917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
