This secondary analysis examined variables directly related to teacher training not fully examined in the School Health Education Evaluation (SHEE). The problem was to determine the effect of School Health Curriculum Project (SHCP) teacher training and curriculum implementation variables on overall student health knowledge, attitude, and self‐reported practice scores in SHCP grades four‐six. The major variables of interest had no statistically significant interactive effects on student scores in the knowledge, attitude, and practice domains. The teacher implementation variable had significant (p ≤ .05) main effects on student scores within attitude and practice domains in addition to statistically significant effects on related subscores within categorical item areas. Design flaws, which represent serious threats to internal and external validity of the primary analysis, may have effected results associated with this project.
