Description

Transforming Child Health Through Hypertension Education: A Call to Action presents a pioneering approach to combating hypertension—starting in the classroom. Grounded in a large-scale study with Indian school children, it shows how early education about hypertension can lead to lasting improvements in health knowledge, lifestyle choices, and preventive behaviours. With a powerful blend of developmental psychology, behaviour change, and public health planning, it examines how factors such as personality traits, academic performance, and achievement motivation influence health behaviour in children, revealing that early adolescence is a particularly responsive age for intervention. Practical, evidence-based, and forward-thinking, this book offers a blueprint for building lifelong health habits in the next generation—before the risks begin; and offers a cost-effective, sustainable approach to combating one of the world's most persistent chronic conditions.

Designed for educators, psychologists, public health professionals, and researchers, the book provides a practical, evidence-based model for improving health outcomes from a young age. With its focus on long-term impact and scalability, especially in low-resource settings, it fills a crucial gap in preventive health literature.
