It can be defined as any combination of learning activities that aim to help individuals and communities improve their health by expanding knowledge or altering attitudes. The cited article records several official definitions, among them the 1975 National Conference on Preventive Medicine description of a process that informs, motivates and helps people adopt and maintain healthy practices and lifestyles, and the World Health Organization description of consciously constructed opportunities for learning designed to improve health literacy. Public health programs that teach communities about disease prevention and healthy behavior are grouped under this practice.FactsHealth EducationConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsClassificationPractice ClassWell-attestedPreventive or Public Health Practice 1Evidence StrengthWell-attestedModerate 1Health EducationFilter Results25 entriesGeographic ScopeAllAfrica (9)Asia (7)Bangladesh (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)Ethiopia (1)Kazakhstan (1)Mali (1)North America (2)Sierra Leone (1)Sistan (1)South America (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (1)United States (1)Venezuela (1)Where (Country)AllAfrica (9)Asia (7)Bangladesh (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)Ethiopia (1)Kazakhstan (1)Mali (1)North America (2)Sierra Leone (1)Sistan (1)South America (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (1)United States (1)Venezuela (1)Era (Launch Year)All1965 (1)1968 (1)1973 (1)1977 (1)1978 (2)1979 (1)1980 (1)1984 (1)1987 (2)1988 (1)1995 (1)2003 (2)2004 (1)2006 (1)2007 (1)2009 (1)2010 (2)2012 (1)2013 (1)2016 (1)2020 (1)StatusAllConcluded (2)Ongoing (16)Suspended (1)Target PopulationAllAll (2)Mothers (1)Health GoalAllAccess (15)Behaviour (1)Associated WithAllGlobal Health (1)Health Systems and Policy (24)Disease or Condition AddressedAllMalaria (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 25Bamako InitiativeHealth EducationBangladesh Community Clinic ProgramHealth EducationBrazil Mais Medicos ProgramHealth EducationCosta Rica EBAIS Primary Health Care ProgramHealth EducationCuba Family Doctor and Nurse ProgramHealth EducationDeclaration of Alma-AtaHealth EducationEthiopia Health Extension ProgrammeHealth EducationIndonesia Puskesmas ProgramHealth EducationIntraHealth InternationalHealth EducationJhpiegoHealth EducationKenya Community Health StrategyHealth EducationLiberia National Community Health Assistant ProgramHealth EducationLiving GoodsHealth EducationMali HealthHealth EducationMozambique Agentes Polivalentes Elementares ProgramHealth EducationNepal Female Community Health Volunteer ProgramHealth EducationPartners In HealthHealth EducationSenegal Bajenu Gox ProgramHealth EducationSEWA RuralHealth EducationSierra Leone National Community Health Worker PolicyHealth EducationThailand Village Health Volunteer ProgramHealth EducationTurkey Family Medicine SystemHealth EducationUnited States Federally Qualified Health Center ProgramHealth EducationVenezuela Barrio Adentro MissionHealth EducationZambia Community Health Assistant ProgramHealth EducationConnectionsIn BranchHealth Promotion, Branches Well-attested Source Health EducationPractice Delivered By ProgramMillion Hearts, Public Health Programs Well-attested MomConnect, Public Health Programs Well-attested Movember, Public Health Programs Well-attested Mozambique Agentes Polivalentes Elementares Program, Public Health Programs Well-attested MPOWER, Public Health Programs Well-attested National Stroke Association, Public Health Programs Well-attested Nepal Aama Programme, Public Health Programs Well-attested Nepal Female Community Health Volunteer Program, Public Health Programs Well-attested Nepal Safe Motherhood Programme, Public Health Programs Well-attested New Zealand Healthy Families NZ, Public Health Programs Well-attested Nigeria Midwives Service Scheme, Public Health Programs Well-attested Nurse-Family Partnership, Public Health Programs Well-attested Operation ASHA, Public Health Programs Well-attested Partners In Health, Public Health Programs Well-attested Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, Public Health Programs Well-attested Product Red, Public Health Programs Well-attested Safe Motherhood Initiative, Public Health Programs Well-attested Senegal Bajenu Gox Program, Public Health Programs Well-attested SEWA Rural, Public Health Programs Well-attested Sierra Leone Free Health Care Initiative, Public Health Programs Well-attested Sierra Leone National Community Health Worker Policy, Public Health Programs Well-attested Source chwcentral.org: Sierra Leone National Community Health Worker PolicySingapore War on Diabetes, Public Health Programs Well-attested South Korea National Health Plan 2030, Public Health Programs Well-attested Sri Lanka Public Health Midwife Program, Public Health Programs Well-attested Susan G.
