Health Promotion and Education

The art and science of health promotion and education is based on biological, environmental, behavioral, social, and medical sciences and uses these disciplines to positively impact and shape the health status of individuals, communities, and society. The advancement of the public’s health through health promotion and education is achieved through research, advocacy, and effective dissemination of information. IVI contributes to this effort by updating and maintaining databases on health promotion and education, cancer prevention and control, epilepsy education, and prenatal smoking cessation, and through continued involvement in the development of the Prevention Evaluation Research Registry for Youth (PERRY).
