Abstract
THIS paper examines the implications for the health and social education of young people of three potentially conflicting influences: a tradition of liberal education which emphasises the importance of personal growth, social development and informed choice; central pressure on the education system to achieve utilitarian outcomes - both in general and in relation to the prevention of disease; and a new 'health promotion' movement.Keywords
