title: [The image of the public health office in the public consciousness of a small city].
abstract: 130 inhabitants of a small town (12,500 inhabitants) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, were asked by health office employees about their opinion on the public health office and their knowledge of its tasks. The results of the poll show that there is some knowledge regarding the tasks of the public health office in the population; however, this knowledge is confined to a few points. As a result of the poll, the population has a neutral or rather positive point of view of the public health office. An intensification of the public relations several scopes of duties e.g. the scope of the pollution control, seems necessary to achieve the proper position in the image of the population.
