Health education for secondary medical schools

Health Education for Secondary Health Schools is the core textbook for the Public Health and Health Education course. It provides students of medical schools with knowledge in the field of health, methods of health education, healthy lifestyles, risk factors with an emphasis on their harmfulness in childhood and adolescence, ecology and health promotion programmes. The individual chapters also respond to the requirements for general knowledge of each citizen about health as a whole and are therefore an integral part of the knowledge of primary prevention. A healthy lifestyle and adherence to the principles of primary prevention is the basis for a life free of health complications for individuals and society as a whole. At the same time, it represents an important source of savings in healthcare spending. The textbook provides an overview of the basics of health promotion and maintenance, risk factors for disease, and teaches students to navigate the flood of current health and health care information.
