Russell-Mayhew, Shelly; Nutter, Sarah; Ireland, Alana; Gabriele, Tina; Bardick, Angela; Crooks, Jackie; Peat, Gavin – Advances in School Mental Health Promotion, 2015

There is also evidence that those teachers most often responsible for delivering health education (i.e., physical education teachers) are at an increased risk for body dissatisfaction, dieting, and…
