abstract="If there is nothing more practical than a good theory, as Lewin indicated, then one of the best ways to improve practice is to update and codify our theoretical base. A half-dozen newer concepts needing integration into community health education theory include an &quot;audience&quot; oriented mass communication orientation, a problem-solver perspective, a more sophisticated notion of perception, a refocusing of the attitude/behavior change continuum, emphasis on &quot;other-orientation,&quot; and an updated learning theory. These combine to re-emphasize the need for communities to be involved in and take charge of the learning process and to work on structural changes to avoid victim-blaming.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
