Healthy Behavior Outcomes (HBO) for a pre-k through Grade 12 health curriculum should enable students to:

• Establish and maintain healthy relationships. (HBO 1)
• Be sexually abstinent. (HBO 2)
• Engage in behaviors that prevent or reduce sexually transmitted disease (STD), including HIV infection. (HBO 3)
• Engage in behaviors that prevent or reduce unintended pregnancy. (HBO 4)
• Avoid pressuring others to engage in sexual behaviors. (HBO 5)
• Support others to avoid or reduce sexual risk behaviors. (HBO 6)
• Treat others with courtesy and respect without regard to their sexual orientation. (HBO 7)
• Use appropriate health services to promote sexual health. (HBO 8)

Some knowledge and skill expectations may be relevant to more than one health topic. Look in other health topic modules to see if there are any related knowledge or skill expectations that might be added for review. For example, if a curriculum addresses broader sexual health issues such as expressing feelings in a healthy way, maintaining healthy relationships, getting help to stop or prevent sexual violence or abuse, and preventing spread of infectious disease, include the knowledge expectations that address these outcomes in the Mental and Emotional Health, Personal Health and Wellness, and Violence Prevention modules.

It is not necessary that all standards be emphasized for all grade groups in a given topic. There are no skill expectations for some standards at some grade levels.

Examples of skill-building activities include:

• Teaching the skill.
• Rehearsing the skill.
• Obtaining feedback about skill performance.
