title: Preparation of manpower for health education: a comparative view.
abstract: Differences between various models in the organization of health education services are explored. New developments in health education approaches used in training, career structures, and job definitions in some European countries are summarized. Problem areas have been defined and recommendations have been produced by numerous activities of the World Health Organization in recent years. At a 1974 symposium, it became obvious that no planned manpower development is feasible without a job definition of the health educator as an educational product. The need to specify the aims of future developments requires taking a critical view of past developments and spelling out existing differences.
