FOREWORD

This publication contains curriculum suggestions for teaching Strand I - Physical Health,Disease Prevention and Control, for grades 7, 8, and 9.

The pL)lication format of four columns is intended to provide teachers with a basic con-tent outline in the first column; a listing of the major understandings and fundamental con-cepts which children may achieve in the second column; and information specifically designedfor classroom teaching which should provide them with resource materials, teaching aids, andsupplementary information, in the third and fourth columns. The comprehensive nature of thehealth program makes it imperative that teachers gain familiarity with all of the strandspresently in print. In this way, important teaching-learning experiences may be developedby cross referring from one strand to another.

It is recommended that thi health coordinator in each school system review these materialscarefully and consult with teachers, administrators, and leaders of interested parent groups inorder to determine the most appropriate manner in which to utilize this strand as an integralpart of a locally adapted, broad and comprehensive program in health education.

The curriculum materials presented here are in tentative form and are subject to modifica-tion in content and sequence. Critiques of the format, content, and sequence are welcomed.

DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Grades 7, 8, 9

Overview

These curriculum materials on disease prevention and control for grades 7-9 should reinforcethe concepts and positive behaviors developed in the elementary grades.

Information concerning the historical events and the personalities that have provideddirection to current attempts to understand and control diseases is included.

Considerable emphasis should be placed on the understanding that current knowledge ofdisease prevention has an impact upon the incidence and prevalence of communicable diseases.It is also important that students be made aware of the extent to which changing communicabledisease rates are related to the emergence of newer health problems such as chronic anddegenerative diseases.

Pupil Objectives

Pupils in grades 7-9 should:

. be aware of the direct and indirect effects of communicable diseases on human life

. understand and appreciate the progress made in man's efforts to control communicable disease

. be familiar with the conditions under which communicable diseases may be transmitted

. have a knowledge of various methods used to protect us from communicable diseases

. work toward the prevention of communicable disease through the application of desirablepersonal health practices

. understand and appreciate the ecological factors related to disease prevalence

. become familiar with the epidemiological method in the prevention and control of disease

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONFOR TEACHERS

Communicable diseases arecaused by a specific organismor its toxic products, andwhich can be transmitted fromone person to another.

The term "contagious" isusually used to describe thosediseases which are communicableby direct contact with theinfected pe-son; for example,measles. Malaria, on the otherhand, would be communicablebut not contagious.

The word microbe comes fromthe Greek micros, meaningsmall, and bios, meaning life;they are living forms of micro-scopic or submicroscopic size.

The first important attemptto classify bacteria was madein 1836 by Ehrenberg, and hisclassifications are used today.

Originally it was believedthat bacteria generatedspontaneously from the materialon which they were found. Thiswas the theory of spontaneousgeneration. It was disprovedby Pasteur and others. Thisgave new impetus to thedevelopment of other approachesto the control of disease withwhole new sciences evolving;

A major reason for the rapiddecline in disease mortalityrates has been the control ofcommunicable diseases which werethe major cause of death in 1900.

The prevalence of somecommunicable diseases, as wellas mortality rates from thesediseases; have decreasedmarkedly since 1900.

The reduction in deaths due tochildhood diseases has beensignificant in increasing lifeexpectancy.

The development of wonder drugsand improved medical care arealso important factors.

MAJOR UNDERSTANDINGS ANDFUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

Ecology is the study of theinteraction- of organismsand their environment.

There is a significant rela-tionship among the physicalnature of the environment,disease in man, and man'swell-being.

FOR TEACHERS

There are disease-producingorganisms (See Section I - Bof this guide) which affectthe structure and functionof the body. The spread ofmany of these diseases isrelated to the social andphysical conditions, such asovercrowding, which must beconsidered in any preventionmeasures.

The extent and severity of adisease are dependent upon groupand individual resistance toto the disease, the virulenceof the causative agent, and theenvironmental conditions present.

Irresponsible social behavior(for example, neglecting toobserve precautions by quaran-tining infected individuals)can be related to the spreadand prevalence of disease.

Although bacteriology is con-cerned with the nature of allmicroorganisms, scientistshave intensified research inareas directed at learningmore about specific micro-organisms and their control.Immunology is based upon theunderstanding of the natureof microorganisms. There is,and must be, a close rela-tionship among all of thehealth sciences.

III. CommunicableDisease

A. Modes oftransmission

MAJOR UNDERSTANDINGS ANDFUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

Disease is any conditionof the body which inter-feres with the properfunctioning of the indi-vidual. It may be eitherof a communicable or non-communicable nature.

Communicable diseases aretransmitted by contactwith infectious dischargesfrom another person.

External objects used byinfected persons act onlyincidentally as bearers ofpathogenic organisms, aswhen freshly contaminatedwith germ-laden excretions.

Some diseases are spreadthrough direct and indirectcontact between a wellperson and an infectedhuman or animal.

1. Direct contact Food, water, and soil mayserve as vehicles fordisease transmission ifthey are contaminatedthrough the excretion ofhuman wastes.

More disease-producing

microorganisms enter andleave the body by way ofthe nose and throat thanby any other channel.

Most disease organisms are sowell adapted to life in thebodies of living men oranimals, or plants that theycan exist for only briefperiods on any external object.

Saliva and discharges from thenose and throat can carry germsthat cause such diseases asmeasles, mumps, polio, andtuberculosis.

Many varieties of bacteria areable to live and multiply inmilk and other foods. TB,undulant fever, typhoid,amebic dysentery and otherdiseases may be spread viacontaminated foods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONFOR TEACHERS

Malaria is carried only by thefemale Anopheles mosquito.Yellow fever is transmitted bythe Aedes mosquito. Sleepingsickness is spready by tsetseflies.

The insects are not usuallyharmed by the germs theycarry, despite the fact thatir. many instances theseorganisms multiply and under-go complicated changes aspart of their life cycle ofdevelopment within the bodiesof their insect hosts.

Congenital infections are notinherited. An inheritedcondition is one that istransmitted from parent tochild by genetic material.Syphilis is a congenitalinfection when the organismspreads from an infectedmother through the placenta,and infects the unborn child.

Body openings are lined witha special membrane whosemucous secretion traps organismsand other foreign particlesthat may enter the opening.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONFOR TEACHERS

The mucous membranes liningthe nasal passages andtrachea are covered with ciliawhich trap foreign particlesand sweep them toward thethroat. These particlesirritate the membranes andcause coughing; thus theparticles are expelled fromthe body.

The resistance of the skin andthe mucous membranes issuccessful only so long as thekeep infectious agents outsideof the body tissue. They areimportant defenses, andresistance to infectiousdisease in general is increaseby cleanliness and good nutri-tirn, which help keep thesebody surfaces in the beststate of health.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

FOR TEACHERS

Absolute immunity is unknownagainst any infection to whichthe species is naturally suscep-tible. Immunity as we use theterm means that an individualhas a relatively increasedresistance toward someparticular pathogenic organism.

Natural immunity depends tosome extent on factors that areinborn and related to one'sracial and ethnic heritage.

Acquired immunity is that whichresults from having had a dis-ease or from the body develop-ing its own antibodies aftertaking preventive measures.

Immunity that is acquirednaturally generally provides-longer-lasting protection thandoes passive immunity thatresults from the injection ofantibodies from the blood ofother people or animals.

Infants receive from theirmothers a passive (temporary)immunity against some commoninfectious diseases their .

mothers have had.

It is possible for one tobecome immune to a diseaseafter having had a subclinicalcase (mild, without noticeablesymptoms) of the specificdisease.
