[Data on the community health education of social workers at the Ecole d'études sociales et pédagogiques].
Social workers may be an essential link between health professionals and patients. Their possibilities of action in health education and prevention could be used more systematically. From this viewpoint, the various functions they carry out are an absolute advantage. They are confronted with countless relevant matters of social and preventive medicine and often resort to "original" intervention models. This article presents a programme of training in social and preventive health developed in the Social and Educational School of Lausanne for future social workers and health promoters. The critical analysis of this programme shows the numerous difficulties which are linked to this training, but also the necessity of such a training for the social workers who are more and more involved in interventions where health problems are in the front rank.
