Home›Public Health Programs›Program Kind›Health EducationPracticeHealth EducationHealth Guidance PracticeReference and ClassificationDevelopingHealth education is the practice of educating people about health, and it covers environmental, physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health as well as sexual and reproductive health education. 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 Results98 entriesGeographic ScopeAllAfrica (18)Argentina (1)Asia (16)Australia (3)Bangladesh (2)Belgium (1)Cambodia (2)Canada (1)China (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)East Asia (1)Ethiopia (1)Europe (3)India (3)Jamaica (1)Kazakhstan (1)Malaysia (1)Mali (1)Maryland (1)Nigeria (1)North America (13)Sierra Leone (2)Sistan (1)South Africa (1)South America (3)South Korea (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (2)Switzerland (3)Thailand (1)Trinidad and Tobago (1)Uganda (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (4)Venezuela (1)Where (Country)AllAfrica (18)Argentina (1)Asia (16)Australia (3)Bangladesh (2)Belgium (1)Cambodia (2)Canada (1)China (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)East Asia (1)Ethiopia (1)Europe (3)India (3)Jamaica (1)Kazakhstan (1)Malaysia (1)Mali (1)Maryland (1)Nigeria (1)North America (13)Sierra Leone (2)Sistan (1)South Africa (1)South America (3)South Korea (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (2)Switzerland (3)Thailand (1)Trinidad and Tobago (1)Uganda (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (4)Venezuela (1)Era (Launch Year)All1904 (1)1913 (1)1950 (1)1965 (1)1968 (1)1973 (1)1977 (1)1978 (2)1979 (2)1980 (1)1982 (1)1984 (2)1985 (1)1986 (1)1987 (4)1988 (1)1989 (2)1992 (1)1994 (2)1995 (1)1997 (2)1998 (1)1999 (1)2000 (1)2002 (1)2003 (4)2004 (2)2005 (2)2006 (6)2007 (2)2008 (1)2009 (6)2010 (8)2011 (3)2012 (6)2013 (5)2014 (3)2015 (1)2016 (5)2017 (1)2020 (1)2021 (1)StatusAllConcluded (6)Ongoing (66)Suspended (1)Target PopulationAllAll (4)Children (1)Mothers (12)Health GoalAllAccess (22)Behaviour (11)Eradication (4)Reduction (9)Sponsoring BodyAllNational Health Service (1)UNICEF (1)United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1)World Health Organization (2)Associated WithAllGlobal Health (3)Health Promotion (2)Health Systems and Policy (26)Maternal and Child Health (21)Nutrition Science (2)Preventive Care (23)Public Health (10)Sexual and Reproductive Health (1)Disease or Condition AddressedAllBreast Cancer (1)Cancer (3)Cardiovascular Disease (1)Chagas Disease (1)Chronic Kidney Disease (1)Diabetes Mellitus (1)Hepatitis B (1)HIV/AIDS (8)Hypertension (1)Malaria (3)Obesity (3)Stroke (2)Syphilis (1)Tobacco Use Disorder (3)Tuberculosis (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 48Million HeartsHealth EducationMomConnectHealth EducationMovemberHealth EducationMozambique Agentes Polivalentes Elementares ProgramHealth EducationMPOWERHealth EducationNational Stroke AssociationHealth EducationNepal Aama ProgrammeHealth EducationNepal Female Community Health Volunteer ProgramHealth EducationNepal Safe Motherhood ProgrammeHealth EducationNew Zealand Healthy Families NZHealth EducationNigeria Midwives Service SchemeHealth EducationNurse-Family PartnershipHealth EducationOperation ASHAHealth EducationPartners In HealthHealth EducationPartnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child HealthHealth EducationProduct RedHealth EducationSafe Motherhood InitiativeHealth EducationSenegal Bajenu Gox ProgramHealth EducationSEWA RuralHealth EducationSierra Leone Free Health Care InitiativeHealth EducationSierra Leone National Community Health Worker PolicyHealth EducationSingapore War on DiabetesHealth EducationSouth Korea National Health Plan 2030Health EducationSri Lanka Public Health Midwife ProgramHealth EducationSusan G.
