Helping students understand that their actions and behavior matter

Choosing Health uses real-life applications, behavior change tools, and mobile technologies to speak to today's students better than any other brief personal health textbook. The 3rd Edition offers guidance for actively improving students’ health while new interactive videos, quizzes, activities, and worksheets in Mastering™ Health coach students through the toughest health topics. With its bold design and inclusion of real student stories (both online and in the printed material), this text is the one that students can most relate to--and the one that will most inspire them to choose a healthy lifestyle.

 

Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering Health

 

Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class – motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning.
