P R E F A C E

This is the second occasion on which Unesco and the World Health Organization have collaborated to produce an annotated Bibliography of Health Education. The previous biblio- graphy, published by Unesco in 1951 in its series Occasional Papers in Education (replaced by the present series Educational Studies and Documents) restricted itself to a survey of literature which, it was felt, would be of interest and value to field workers in fundamental education. This first venture met with a favourable reaction in many parts of the world and proved useful to the Secretariats of both Specialized Agencies in carrying out their respective programmes. Accordingly, when W.H.O. suggested the publication of anotkr and more compre- hensive survey of literature on health education, the Unesco Secretariat readily agreed to renew the collaboration which had already proved so successful.

The manuscript forthis present issue was prepared b y the World Health Organization, the Unesco Secretariat exercising only editorial functions. It was decided that it should be devoted to descriptive literature and should not include teaching materials as such. The latter are normally prepared for a particular purpose and adapted to the needs of specific cultures and areas - in other words, they rarely have much transfer value. This issue, then, has endeavoured to review publications of general interest to readers, in whatever part of the world they may be. The largest section deals with descriptions of existing health education programmes and their problems but it was felt useful to extend the listing to include somewhat wider topics. For example, health educators, particularly those working outside their o w n cultural environment, constantly meet problems which require some knowledge of anthropology and sociology, and a few publications dealing with their relationship to health education have been included in Section 1. Readers who wish to make a particular study of these two subjects will be able to obtain suitable book lists from almost any large library. Similarly, the section on medwds and techniques deals only with publications that were specially written with health education in view. All the techniques of adult education may be adapted to the needs of health education, and the reader is referred to adult education bibliographies for further literature.

It is no exaggeration to say that health, including health education, programmes are a major preoccupation of all countries. Moreover, the universal realization of the advantages to be gained from the international exchange of information has led to the founding of organizations, such as the International Union for the Health Education of the Public, which, b y holding conferences and by other means, enable health educators from different countries to m d e contact and profit from one another's experience. The Health Education Section of the World Health Organization associates itself with and promotes these activities, and Unesco, too, collects and disseminates information on health education through its various educational field projects. The present bibliography is intended as a modest contribution to this international cross-fertilization of ideas.

INTRODUCTION

SOME EARLY WRITINGS ON HEALTH

"Fly quickly and far from the infected place; and if that is possible, purify the house by sunlight, fumigation and the Iavish use of vinegar. fear only does great damage and no good whatsoever. 'I

The time was 1348; the occasion, the advent of the Black Death; the writer, Jehan Jacme d'Argramont of Catalonia, author of the earliest of the plague tractates. These popular treatises, over 300 of which were written between 1348 and 1720, explained the causes of the epidemic and the symptoms, prophylaxis and treatment of the disease. vernacular and they would appear to be the first large scale effort in mass education of the public.

Many of them were written in the

Health literature, however, has a far older history. Rules for healthy living are to be found in the code of Hammurabi, written in 1800 B. C., and in the Book of Leviticus. An example of works on health by Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers is Plutarch's Advice about Keeping Well, written in the first century A. D. Turning aside from the aristocratic hygiene, the regimen advocated for the idle rich, which was preached by Hippocratic physicians, he says, "For health is not to be purchased by idleness and inactivity, which are the greatest evils attendant on sickness, and the m a n who seeks to conserve his health by uselessness and ease does not differ from him who guards his eyes by not seeing and his voice by not speaking. health could not devote himself to any better object than to numerous humane activities. I'

For a m a n in good

During the early Middle Ages the literature on health was scanty. The next great landmark

It was a didactic poem, full of maxims on how to was the Regimen Sanitatis Salernitanum, which has been called "the most popular book on hygiene not only in the Middle Ages but of all times". keep healthy.

"Let air you breathe be sunny, clear and light, Free from disease or cesspools' fetid blight. I'

Interspersed with humour and c o m m o n sense, it preached moderation in all things, equanimity, and a natural way of life. The reader is advised "to rise early, to wash in cold water, to brush his teeth, to go for walks, to give up sleeping during the day, to avoid draughts and bad smells". It must have been as quotable as Alice in Wonderland, for it has been said that there was hardly a ,situation that did not call for the quotation of some of its verses. It ran through over 500 printed editions in Latin, Hebrew, Persian and all the European languages.

The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries produced a spate of books for popular consumption but mostly addressed to lords and ladies of high degree, advising them about diet, hygiene of the mouth and teeth, care of the hair, bathing, etc. The Oxford reformers who went to Italy at the end of this period brought back from Padua and Florence the Greek inspiration. true learning was true humanism and urged the importance of education especially in medicine and health.

They taught that

Published in 1516, Sir Thomas More's Utopia included a succinct and remarkable programme, covering all essential matters pertaining to personal and public health, for his imaginary State. The humanist Thomas Linacre (1460-1542). physician to Henry VI11 and Cardinal Wolsey and founder of the Royal College of Physicians, made a notable contribution to health education with his Compendious Regimen, or Dyatorye of Healthe. books on health appeared under such titles as the "Gouvernayle", the "Haven", the "Castell", the "Brevyary", the "Rosary", or the "Garden of Helthe". Englishman's Treasure ran through innumerable editions between 1577 and 1888. One of the first works on mental hygiene was Wisdom's Dictates or Aphorlsms and Rules for Preserving Health of Body and Peace of Mind, by Thomas Tryon, which appeared in 1696.

Preserving Health: A Poem in Four Books, (London, 1741). Armstrong's "four books'' were devoted to air, food, exercise and the passions, the dedication,

A desire to instruct the public was expressed in On exercise he observes,

Of exercises, swimming's best, Strengthens the muscles of the chest. As 'tis the best, so 'tis the sum Of exercises all in one, And of all motions most complete Because 'tis vi'lent without heat.

William Cadogan made a real contribution to education in the maternal and child health field when he wrote his Essay cn Nursing and the Management of Small Children, London, 1747. He advocated that infants should be breast fed by their own mothers and not by wet nurses, that they should have plenty of fresh air, clean, loose, light clothing, cleanliness of body and linen, and insisted that fresh fruits and vegetables were not an unhealthy diet for the infant as had always been supposed. He also advocated doing away with swaddling clothes.

One of the period's most outstanding and charming books on health education was T A Catechism of Health (Gesundheits-Katechismus), by Bernhard Christoph Faust, published in Buckeburg in 1794. It was written primarily for parents, leachers and children as a manual of health teaching, and was translated into many languages.

Charles-Augustin Vandermonde, of the Faculty of Paris, published his Dictionnaire de Sant6, Paris, 1760, in which he formulated the idea of positive hygiene. "Men are the true wealth of the State, and yet the most neglected . . . . I believe that our bodies are capable of greater perfection than they possess, that it is possible to prevent their degeneration by following simple rules and natural principles, and that the mind itself would greatly benefit from improvement of the body. " John Wesley was inspired to write his Primitive Physick: or an Easy and Natural Way of Curing Most Diseases, London, 1747, by the popular reception given to George Cheyne's book of health precepts, Essay on Health and Long Life, London, 1724. Sir George Newman says of Wesley's book, "Its medical prescriptions are innocent of any scientific authority whatsoever, but its homely advice was the secret of its enormous sale. It recommends fresh air, simple dietetic rules -'nothing conduces more to health than abstinence and plain food with due labour' - eight hours rest at night, urges the necessity for daily exercise, and discusses the effect of passions on health, and the hygienic value of a calm and contented spirit". nexion with Wesley's book and the innumerable health pamphlets which followed in its wake was the mass distribution of health literature through the Methodist Church organization. of this period John Sinclair's Code of Health and Longevity, Edinburgh, 1808, included a compre- hensive bibliography of health literature published to date, listing nearly 1, 900 items.

At the end

Three men and one woman - Edwin Chadwick, Southwood Smith, Sir John Simon and Florence Nightingale - had a profound influence on the development of public health in England in the nine- teenth century. Because of their common sense and down-to-earth investigations, in which they gave full details of existing conditions and attempted to correlate them with their knowledge of local mortality, many of their publications may be considered great health education documents. By making the government and the people aware of unsanitary conditions and attempting to raise the level of community cleanliness and housekeeping, they pointed the way out of the wilderness of disease and misery, helped to develop a real health consciousness, and gave an impetus to sani- tation reform. The report on the Sanitary Condition oi the Labouring Population of Great Britain (1842) is considered Chadwick's most important single work. After dealing with drainage, water supply, the disposal of human and manufacturing wasles and housing, he came to the conclusion that the abject misery of the working people was due in large part to the filthy environment in which they lived. question that preventive medicine raises standards of living and behaviour. this realistic report with "astonishment and dismay", with "horror and incredulity".

He based his arguments on a carerul study of vital statistics and proved beyond Parliament received

immediate result was the creation of a central, executive Board of Health, and the report became the gospel of the epidemiology of the "Great Sanitary Awakening".

Southwood Smith was an advocate of popular education in support of legislation. He organized a voluntary association of medical and lay workers interested in advancing sanitary reforms. This body, the "Health of Towns Association", represents the first of a long series of efforts to use community health education in establishing effective health legislation and public health adminis- tration. entitled The Philosophy of Health, or the Exposition of the Physical and Mental Constitution of Man, with a View to the Promotion of Human Longevity and Happiness, London, 1835. There were eleven editions of this work.

Smith also published a popular book on health, based upon the principles of physiology,

Sir John Simon took over from Chadwick the leadership of the sanitary programme and carried many of Chadwick's recommendations into execution. Throughout his term of office as chief medical officer of health from 1855 to 1872, he showed a keen sense of the value of public health education. one far-reaching true reformer, not the mere elementary school business, not even . . . with some super-addition of bread-winning technical ability, but the education which completes for self-help and social duty by including wisdom and goodness among its objects; which teaches standards of moral right and wrong, acts orthopaedically on the twisted mind and applies its own hygienic discipline to the shaking palsy of purposeless life. one man can receive passively from another, as he might receive an unction or a legacy, but is something which his own nature must actively go forth lo meet.

The formation in England of the National Association for the Prevention of Infant Mortality (1906), the St. Pancras School for Mothers (1907). and the British Social Hygiene Council (1914) encouraged education of the people, and posters and pamphlets began to appear in greater numbers. With the passing of the Maternal and Child Welfare Act of 1918, child health clinics were estab- lished throughout the country and health education became a recognized and vital part of their work. The Central Council for Health Education was formed in 1927, and, in response to the changing concept and status of health education, is now concerned more with the training of professional workers in health and education and less with direct programmes for the general public.

Lucien Viborel states that health education in France developed rapidly after World War I1 with the formation of Le Centre National d'Education Sanitaire. through the earlier efforts and writings of such men as Pasteur and his pupil Duclaux, Bourgeois, Landouzy, Honnorat, Strauss, Bernard, Fournier, Calmette, Sicard de Plauzolles, Parisot and others.

Journal ofHealth, publishedfrom 1830 to 1834, the motto of which was"Hea1th -the poor man's riches, the rich man's bliss". Another Journal of Health, with a motto"Hea1th is duty", and devoted largely to personal and mental hygiene, was more lively than its predecessors, but shared the same early de- mise. The first important public health journalin America was The Sanitarian, founded in 1873.

As inEurope, duringthis period, where Guides to and Preservers of Health, Almanacks, Bre- viaries, Catechisms, Codes, Counsels on Health, followed each other in quick succession, textbooks on medicine were publishedin great numbers. They seem to have been even more popular in the New World than in the Old. Dr. William Buchan's Domestic Medicine, or a Treatise on the Preven- tion and Cure of Disease, Philadelphia, 1797, went through more than twenty editions. The first popular text devoted entirely to preventive medicine, Robert Wallis' The Art of Preventing Diseases and Restoring Health, New York, 1794, included chapters on home nursing, food and nutrition, personal and mental hygiene and the control of communicable disease.

As early as 1843, Horace Mann was urging the value of education for health. When the Shattuck Report appeared in 1849, it was considered "worthy to rank with the best productions of English sanitary statesmanship". One writer, C. E. A. Winslow, feels that for breadth and clarity of prophetic vision, it is among the most remarkable documents in the history of public health. The report had great significance for health education. It recommended that sanitary associations "be formed in every city and town in the State of Massachusetts for the purpose of collecting and diffusing information relating to public and personal health".

During the Civil War the United States Sanitary Commission prepared a number of pamphlets to be used as "keep fit guides" for soldiers, but this policy was not continued after the end of the war. A few pamphlets on dust and its dangers appeared, but it was an educational leaflet against tuberculosis written by Hermann N. Biggs in 1889 that began the great flow of health education literature in the United States of America. With the formation of the national and local voluntary health associations, whose essential function and basic purpose was health education, the publica- tions became so numerous that even by 1900 the enormous increase in basic knowledge outran the individual's ability to absorb and apply it. between knowledge and its actual application to daily living. develop along two lines - education in school and education in the community.

Health and social workers recognized the wide gap Accordingly health education began to

In 1904 there arose a movement known as the ModernHealthCrusade which was specifically de- signedfor tuberculosis education and led to the formation of the National Tuberculosis Association in 1915. In 1909 the NationalSocietyfortheStudy ofEducation publishedits Year Book, Part One of which was devotedtoHealth andEducation. In 1918 the Unitedstates Office of Education published the first of its Health EducationSeries, the year in which the term "health education", proposed by Sally Lucas Jean, was adopted officially by the Child Health Organization. One of the chief objects of this Organization was "to teach health habits to children"; Rules of the Game was prepared to help teachers popularize simple health practices.

The main development of organized community effort in health education began in 1941 follow- ing the inauguration of a series of local demonstrations in the southern region of the United States of America, and later of similar ones in other States. subject began to appear in considerable number.

At the same time, publications on this

It is of interest to note some of the changing practices in health education in comparatively re- cent times. There was the information-centered technique, in which information was often presented with a patronizing air, sometimes encasedinthe more awesome tombstone approach. This gave way to the "gadget period", in which the health message had to be made attractive. In came the smart format, the most novel radio programme, the most entertaining health film. The results were, how- ever, "notably unrewarding". With the growth of knowledge about mental health, and particularly the learning process, and also about principles and methods of social action, it is now realized that the presentation of facts is not automatically followed by changes in behaviour - however attractive the format or the film. At the same time, contact with other cultures has rekindled awareness of the existence and relatedness of many factors besides ignorance in the causation of ill-health.

The presentrday concept of the functions of health educationis therefore widening to include not onlythe extension of knowledge, but the creation of the conditions necessaryfor people to make use of that knowledge and to translate it into individual and community action become a community worker who seeks to stimulate, co-ordinate andfurther the efforts ofthe people to recognizetheir own health problems and totake an active part in dealing with them.

had chiefly recommended that administrators of public health programmes should know some - thing about the culture in which they are working, that specialists in the social sciences should be assigned to public health field parties, and that basic anthropological studies should be continued. Adams makes two further points: those carrying out public health projects can benefit from training in anthropology, and anthropological consultants can play a valuable rBle in the central administration and planning of such projects.

This experiment was begun in 1936 to study health as the total development of the individual in his social context and the family as a social unit. A health centre was organized as a laboratory to facilitate spontaneous social expressions of persons at all age levels. Until its work was interrupted by the war in 1939, the Centre became a real community centre for the families who joined as members. Work was resumed for a short time after 1946. report describes in detail the principles underlying the experiment and the methods and approaches used at the Centre, and gives an analysis of the processes by which a living social group spontaneously emerged.

A practical analysis of the problems facing health educators in the tropics. T o under- stand a people's attitude towards health and disease it is necessary to understand their thoughts about the nature of the universe, their ideas about the origin of good and evil, and about the motive springs of human conduct. These are underlying factors governing the way in which people face disease and the death which may result from it, and the way in which they attempt to influence and control natural forces and processes by supernatural means. Health education in the tropics is not a matter of showing a few films and posters, but rather a question of being able - through understanding the background - to make the first crossing of the barrier of culture and environment.

The author uses the Spanish-speaking Americans in Denver and their concepts and attitudes towards disease, healing and medical care as a specific case study to demonstrate the problems for health workers among ethnic groups. It is emphasized that health services should be ad- justed in as far aspossible to the social structure of the population receiving them. There is a discussion of biases likely to affect health personnel in cross-cultural situations - the assumption of a universal human nature which presumably leads all normal people to respond in certain uniform ways in given situations; an excessive belief in "reason" as a controlling force in human behaviour; ethnocentrism; identification of the practitioner's own social environment with that of the patient; and concentration on the disease rather than the person.

"In villages and rural areas the people themselves have to perform many of the actions needed to break the chain of transmission of disease. Before any educational programme for environmental sanitation can be planned, it is necessary to find out what health problems they recognize and are interested in, how much they already know, what the usual channels of communication are, what social, cultural and other influences are operating, and what are the existing resources that could contribute to the programme. In the actual planning, the sanitarian must consider how to get the participation of the community, what decisions can be left to the people themselves, what informational materials are likely to be needed, and what the criteria of progress are to be."

The reader of this monograph will be interested in the following two important studies published by Unesco in the same field:

EDUCATION AND MENTAL HEALTH by Dr. W.D. Wall. 360 pa This book summarizes the results of a Conference convened by Unesco and attended by more than 100 leading authorities in the field of educ.ation and psychology. The central theme of the Conference was the balanced de- velopment of the individual and the ways in which this development was threatened, in Europe, by the disturbance of community's values. The book presents the major controversial issues in edu- cation and indicates their implications for mental hygiene.

MENTAL HYGIENE IN THE NURSERY SCHOOL. 32 p. This volume, a joint report of Unesco and the World Health Organization, defines the appropriate functions of the nursery school in terms of the psychological development of young children. In the light of this, it discusses the problems of the selection and training of nursery school teachers.

UNESCO COUPONS W e should like to draw the attention of our readers to the Cnesco Coupon Scheme, which may enable them to purchase materials listed in this periodical. Because it is often difficult to send money from country to country for the purchase of books, films, laboratory equipment, etc., Unesco has created a sort of international currency, the UNESCO COUPON. These coupons enable schools, universities, teachers and students in many parts of the uorld to buy freely the materials uhich they need for study and research.

UNESCO COUPONS can be used to buy: books

periodicals

photocopies

microfilm copies

art reproductions

charts, globes, maps, sheet music

gramophone records

the following categories of edu- cational films :

(a) screening prints and dupli- cate prints

(b) original negatives and du- plicate negatives

as well as

(c) 16mm. raw film for printing the above categories of films

various categories of scientific material for education and re- search, such as:

optical .instruments, balances and weights

laboratory glass-ware

electrical measuring instru- ments

analytical and cIinical test- ing apparatus, etc.

UNESCO COUPONS are on sale in most Member States uihich have currency restrictions. If you d o not know where to obtain coupons, plense consult your National Commission for Unesco or zvrite to Unesco, Paris, for the information.

The TRAVEL COUPON SCHEME, which is designed to ouercome the currency barriers to edu- cational and cultural travel, is an extension of the Unesco Coupon Scheme described above. Travel Coupons are a form of idernational travellers 'ch,eque. They provide the foreign exchange needed to enable travellers such as students, teachers and research workers to spend time abroad for study or research.
