| This dictionary was developed for professionals in the field of health promotion and health education and in related professions. It identifies a wide range of terms and health and professional organizations commonly used by health educators and public health professionals, although it is not meant to be exhaustive. The contents reflect the process of health promotion and education rather than disease-specific terminology. Key terms used in related public health disciplines, such as epidemiology, health administration, biostatistics, environmental health, and behavioral sciences, were included because health educators are ordinarily expected to be familiar with these areas in their practice. Terms relevant to the four settings of health promotion and education—community, workplace, primary care, and school—are emphasized.
This dictionary was originally prompted by our graduate students’ request for a reference list of terms that they could understand and employ consistently in their professional reading and writing. Conversations with other health educators confirmed the need for such a guide. The first edition has been used by public health professionals in both academic and practice settings and has proved to be a valuable resource for arriving at a common understanding of terms frequently encountered by health educators. |
