Abstract:
Although health education is an important part of health services for the elderly, the contents of municipal health education programs differ from year to year because services are supervised by individual municipalities. In regional health, education programs are rarely developed with apparent general instructional or special behavioral objectives, and the effects of education are rarely adequately evaluated. A workshop on developing programs was held for dieticians working at health centers in Niigata Prefecture. The participants showed a more positive attitude toward program development. The process of curriculum planning in medical education can also be applied to program development for regional health education.
