Teen Health & Wellness: Real Life, Real Answers is committed to supporting librarians and educators as they integrate the database into their programs.

Case Studies

Case studies offer concrete examples and success stories of how librarians and educators have used Teen Health & Wellness to support teens both in the library and the classroom.

The inaugural case study showcases Naperville Central High School in Naperville, Illinois.

Summary: Approximately 400 sophomore students in 14 Health Education classes at Naperville Central High School used the Teen Health & Wellness database throughout the second semester of the 2006-07 school year. In addition to meeting Illinois state learning standards, teachers used the database as a teacher resource, teaching aid, and student resource at both school and home for class assignments and personal wellness information. In a survey, 99% of students said information was easy to locate in the database, 95% said the material was helpful, and 89% said they would use Teen Health & Wellness again.
