title: Health promotion and the use of appropriateness review.
abstract: This paper reviews research regarding institutional sponsorship of health education programs and makes a case for mobilizing planning agency review powers to support health promotion goals. Specifically, the paper urges that institutions be reviewed for appropriateness in terms of their efforts to promote health. The processes of developing review criteria and reviewing institutions to facilitate change are discussed; sample review criteria for health education are included.
