Integrated Science Education Outreach (InSciEd Out) is one novel program that seeks to promote scientific and health literacy through fostering scientific inquiry. The guiding premise of InSciEd Out's health promotion arm is a concept called Prescription Education (PE), which uses science education as a direct and early intervention for disease behaviors. The underlying hypothesis of InSciEd Out PE is that a student who lives a scientific experience in his or her own voice (undergoes true inquiry-based science) will be empowered to elect healthier behaviors in any targeted health paradigm. PE's proposed mechanism of change is that inquiry-based science catalyzes transitions from knowledge to understanding to attitudes to intents to actual behavioral change.
