Abstract: The emergence of the library as a focal point for dissemination of health information is the basis of a manual for librarians and information providers. The changing social environment that supports medical consumerism and the need for health information are discussed. The role of the library in meeting this need and the legality of providing health information to the lay person are addressed. Seven library-based consumer health education programs operating in a variety of institutional settings in the U.S. and Canada are described. A number of program functions are analyzed in depth. An overview of health information networking activities, a list of services, and publications of major federal health information clearinghouses are given. A discussion of the application of mass media and modern technology to health promotion illustrates the considerable accomplishments in this emerging new area of library and community service. (emc).

Abstract: The report of the Task Force on Consumer Health Education provides guidelines to policy development in disease prevention, health promotion, and health education. The report emphasized the relation of health status to life style and the timeliness of the current challenge of consumer health education.

Major themes of the report are: 1) individual behavior and life style, influenced by internal and external factors, play a major role in health, illness, disability, and premature death; 2) the individual is responsible for informed choices in health care and behavior change; 3) health education is multidisciplinary; 4) empirical research is needed to assess the long-term effects of health education; 5) substantial resources should be committed to health education; 6) the Federal Government has the responsibility to promote health education and assess the effects of national policy; and 7) health education must be rigorously researched and developed, adequately financed and throughly evaluated.
