Occupational Settings

Some typical activities of health educators employed in public and private settings in California are reported. These reports are based upon interviews with a number of directors of health education programs and the chairpersons of two university programs. Typical activities include the generalist role of rural health educators, the emphasis of urban health educators on health promotion programs, patient education as a major activity of health educators in medical care settings, and the continued commitment of health educators in occupational settings to community health education. The diversity of activities in which health educators in California are engaged suggests the outlook for the eighties is for many arenas for the practice of health education.

Specific programs, strategies, and resources for each topic are presented. The chapter concludes with an overview of school-based consultation and implementation of universal health-promotion programs. Finally, the role of mental health professionals in providing services to students with chronic health conditions is addressed.
