Abstract
A national survey of individuals responsible for workplace health education was conducted by self-administered mailed questionnaire. The present analysis examines the responses to the questions on the types of health education activities undertaken and the prior training in health education of those responsible for this work. Results suggest that interest and activity in workplace health education is increasing but that there is a serious lack of training in health education on the parts of those responsible for this work.Keywords
