title: [Education for health in France. New data for an improved strategy].
abstract: Until recently there was a dearth of reliable statistics in France which hampered the implementation of prevention programmes. To remedy this situation, the government created in 1981 monitoring regional stations and requested a regular report on the health of the nation. The first such report entitled Health in France has just been published. It contains data on morbidity and mortality which will enable public health administrators to develop new strategies for preventive actions and health education.
