Connect Core Concepts in Health remains the leading health textbook in U.S. higher education. The book's unique psychological approach to mind-body health encourages students to take proactive self-assessments.

McGraw Hill Education's digital and teaching-learning tools also integrate Connect Core Concepts in Health's authoritative, science-based content.

The seventeenth edition features new research-based coverage of the use of digital technology, including new Tech Tips in every chapter that help students take advantage of apps and tech-based devices that will help them reach their fitness and wellness goals. Additionally, every chapter has been updated to reflect current scientific thinking, data, and statistics from such authoritative sources as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
