Health teams in school. A step towards primary prevention.
Health education in schools is a subject that many people talk about but few do something about. One reason for this is that it is an interdisciplinary subject. This paper describes a community model with a ten-point program. Local health teams with collaboration between the school health service and the teachers are one of the main features of the model. A more active engagement in health education is a step towards primary prevention of health problems caused by living habits and environmental factors.
