Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT)
The Health Education Curriculum Analysis Tool (HECAT) can help school
districts, schools, and others conduct a clear, complete, and consistent
analysis of health education curricula based on the National Health
Education Standards and CDC’s Characteristics of Effective Health
Education Curricula. The HECAT results can help schools select or
develop appropriate and effective health education curricula and improve
the delivery of health education. The HECAT can be customized to meet local community needs and conform to
the curriculum requirements of the state or school district.
The following HECAT health topic modules are currently available:
- Alcohol and Other Drugs
- Healthy Eating
- Physical Activity
- Tobacco
Additional modules will be added as they are completed.
