Abstract

The aim of health education is to influence or even change behaviour affecting people’s health. It must at all times be intrinsically valuable and worthwhile. Many aspects of health behaviour are part of man’s normal everyday life, other aspects however, require conscious efforts based on knowledge. All aspects are directed towards preserving health and avoiding illness.
