Abstract
The Health practices in 4 (four) tertiary institutions in Kano state
was appraised. A total of 400 Students were selected randomly from
Beyero University Kano, F.C.E. Kano, College of Education Kumbotso
and College of Health Sciences for the administration of a structured
questionnaire.
Data collected were subjected to analyses by means of SPSS
Computer Package 2002 edition. One major and four sub- hypotheses
were raised concerning the health practices and other variables like health
instruction, health services, healthful living in schools and homecommunity
relationship.
Using the Pearson product Moment Correlation Procedure, it was
observed that all the variables were significantly related to health
practices in the institutions. So, the null hypotheses were rejected.
Therefore, it is recommended that health instruction, health
services, healthful school living and school home and community
relationship be emphasized in the chosen tertiary institutions in Kano State
to improve the living standards of students.
