The Impact of Health Education Programs on Chronic Disease Prevention Among Adults
Abstract
Chronic diseases are a major public health concern in the world as they are the cause of most morbidity and mortality in adults all over the globe. Health education activities have become a high-priority measure to prevent chronic diseases, with the goal of enhancing the level of knowledge, attitudes, and healthier behaviors. The study investigates the effectiveness of health education program in preventing chronic diseases in adults, theoretical basis, models, as well as practical Interventions. Significant areas Involve principles of adult learning, community-based methods, digital health technologies, and lifestyle change methods. The obstacles to participation, socioeconomic determinants, gender discrepancy, and the involvement of healthcare providers in improving program effectiveness are also addressed in the research study.
