Abstract
Abstract Problem-posing rather than problem-solving is proposed as an effective health education model for addressing the health decision-making of adolescents. The model suggests that participation of people in dialogue efforts and group action, directed toward community, peer groups, and individual concerns, enhance scontrol and beliefs in people's ability to change their own lives. The dialogue approach, which comes from the work of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, enables students to identify their problesms, critically assess social and historical roots of problems, and envision a healthier future for themselves and their communities. Problem-posing broadens youth's individual perspectives on social issues and, therefore, improves the decision-making process of individuals for action to resolve their own issues.
