Transferability of health promotion and health education approaches between communicable and non-communicable diseases: Analysis of current evidence. Technical report

This review examined the approaches to the prevention of chronic diseases (also referred to as non-communicable diseases) that have been developed and used in health education and health promotion. The study assumed that many of the causal factors considered for the prevention of diseases and the efforts required to change them apply to both non-communicable diseases and communicable diseases.
