The HECAT was developed in partnership with health education experts representing state education agencies, school districts, schools, colleges, and national organizations. It is based on the National Health Education Standards and CDC's Characteristics of Effective Health Education Curricula. You can customize the HECAT to meet your community's needs and the curriculum requirements of your state and school district.
