Community health education is a planned, organized and evaluated health education activity within the community, with families as the unit, community residents as the object and residents' health as the goal.
The purpose is to mobilize and guide community residents to establish health awareness, care about their own health problems, care about their families and communities, actively participate in community health education activities, develop good health behaviors and lifestyles, and improve their self-care ability and group health level. Because community residents come from different cultural classes, community health education is usually carried out in various ways.
The main forms of community health education are language education, character education, image education and audio-visual education, among which language education can be divided into individual education and group education. Individual conversation and health consultation are both forms of individual language education.
Individual conversations in the form of community health education are more targeted and can be conducted one-on-one, which is very suitable for small-scale health education and can better understand each other's needs and doubts about related health issues.
