Course Description: Health-promoting behaviors are important for sustaining one’s daily life. Unhealthy behaviors lead to numerous negative health consequences, including physical and mental health problems, serious illness, and shorter longevity. This study aimed to examine the impact of educational attainment on health behaviors across young adult men and differences in the association across race/ethnicity. Researchers found that educational attainment was associated with both food intake and preventive health care visits. Education is one way to improve health behaviors and to lessen racial/ethnic disparities in health behaviors.
