Progressive health education through community organization: a case study.
Successful health education programs should be based on well-integrated community systems and networks. A health educator encountering community disintegration assumes a responsibility for taking a community organization effort. A case study of such an effort, based on Rothman's locality development model, is described. Community diagnosis and program development stages are detailed. Community health projects were among the outcomes attributed to this project.
