Access to Health

For courses in personal health.

Motivate students to become actively engaged in their own health

Access to Health combines scientifically valid research and the most current information to encourage healthy life choices. As a teacher, mentor, and researcher, author Rebecca J. Donatelle uses her friendly writing style to address students’ concerns and motivate them to be savvy, critical consumers of health information. The 16th Edition integrates mindfulness research, tools, and practices throughout, enabling students to incorporate mindfulness practices to help cut through the static of everyday life, to be more focused and present, and to improve academic performance. The new edition also presents a new chapter on difference, disparity, and health equity.

Access to Health now provides access to MyDietAnalysis—a diet and activity tracking tools that gives students an easy way to analyze their daily nutrient intake and physical activity. MyDietAnalysis is powered by ESHA Research, accessible on all devices, and included at no extra charge with Mastering Health. Mastering Health also provides students with videos, self-assessments, study plans, online interactive activities, and reading quizzes that address their diverse needs and learning styles while engaging them in the material.

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.
