Description
The challenge to health education, implicit in the current re-thinking of the basic assumptions underlying U.S. health policy for the past quarter-century, is enormous and unprecedented in the history of the profession. This is true regardless of the fate of any particular bureau or piece of legislation. The challenge involves not only professional health educators but the far larger group of physicians, nurses, behavioral scientists, nutritionists and others involved in one or another aspect of this broad inter-disciplinary field. New manpower studies are urgently needed to identify quantitative and qualitative changes necessary to meet these challenges.
