Summary

The first and only book published in response To The new unified code developed by the National Coalition of Health Education Organizations, The Code of Ethics For The Health Education Profession: A Case Study Book provides a unique tool for all health educators, regardless of professional organization or practice setting. For each Code of Ethics statement, a case study is presented with accompanying discussion of the issues related to that statement.
