Abstract
Individual and societal values, which are the reasons behind decisions and choices, guide thoughts and behaviors. Values also shape an individual's actions regarding their health, contributing to health improvement. Our values play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life, encompassing physical, social, environmental, emotional, and mental well-being. The periods of elementary school, childhood, and adolescence are stages where health risks can pose threats. During this time, children may be influenced by new social relationships and their environment, which can lead to undesired changes in existing values. Health-based values education provides school-aged children with opportunities to develop knowledge and skills for healthy growth and disease prevention. This education conveys health-related values to children, encouraging them to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, values education, commencing from an early age and progressing gradually, can play a protective role against risks that may arise during adolescence.
