Summary/Abstract: One of the most important settings for health promotion are schools, which, in a complex manner, influences student behaviour in a major way. The behaviour and attitudes of all teachers – and not only those who teach health-related subjects – are a part of lessons taught (though this is not openly intended). The Faculty of Public Health of the University of Debrecen did a questionnaire survey on the health and behaviour of students preparing to be teachers in six Hungarian teacher-training institutes in 2007. Data analysed separately for each institute do not point to any significant differences among students of the participating institutes in respect of health status and behaviour – though it must be noted that three times more students struggle with an abnormally high level of psychological stress compared to the same age-group within the general population.
