Some Notions about Assumptions Underlying Health Education.
Lorig, Kate; Laurin, Janette
Health Education Quarterly, v12 n3 p231-43 Fall 1985
This article examines a number of chronic disease health education studies. The authors suggest that there is a need to reevaluate the assumptions that underlie health education and a need in health education programs to study factors other than, or in addition to, behavior change as mediators of health status.
