The Michigan Model® Michigan is the only state in the country with a state-developed model curriculum in health education for elementary, middle, and high school students.  The Michigan Model for Health® addresses these vital health issues in successive grades, and provides students with essential knowledge and prevention skills to avoid risky behaviors and improve health.  Module topics at the secondary level closely correspond to the risk behaviors measured on the Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
