The American Association for Health Education is the oldest and largest health education association. Formed in 1937, this membership organization represents health educators and health promotion specialists from every level of academia as well as practitioners in all corners of society. AAHE is one of the five national associations that make up AAHPRED (American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance).
The mission of AAHE is to advance the profession by serving health educators and others who strive to promote the health of all people through education and other systematic strategies. Therefore, it was a huge professional honor that I was part of the research team and one of the co-authors named to receive the AAHE Best Professional Poster award at the 2010 American Association for Health Education conference. The title of our project was: Religiosity, Spirituality, Sexual Attitudes and Sexual Behaviors among College Students.

This, however, was not the first time I had won an award for my collaborative scholarship. In 2007, my colleague Dr. Goodwin and I were presented with the Exceptional Research Award: Professional Division at the 2007 Ohio Athletic Training conference. The title our of peer-reviewed research project was: Student Attitudes Toward Problem Based Learning Influenced by Gender and Age. Click here to read the abstract: OATA Abstract.PDF
