Health education is teaching people and communities about health and wellness to encourage healthy behaviors, prevent illness, and improve overall well-being. It goes beyond just sharing facts, aiming to change knowledge, attitudes, skills, and actions related to health.
Examples:
Schools: Teaching kids about healthy eating and exercise.
Communities: Workshops on diabetes prevention or stress management.
Public Campaigns: Ads encouraging people to quit smoking.
Clinics: Explaining medication use to patients.
