Health behavior research toward health for all: issues and schema.
Health behavior research is concerned with the social, cultural and psychological determinants of health. Implicit in this is a focus on action that will lead to real-world improvements in health for the individual and in the community. Research in this area should not lose this focus. Programmatic needs must be understood if support is to be gained from policy makers. Along with the relevance of research, staff training is a key part of bridging the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and action to improve health.
