Consumer Health offers up-to-date information about health care reforms and insurance in the United States. Rather than devoting entire chapters to consumer issues related to specific diseases or conditions, this practical guide weaves diseases and health conditions into discussions about fraud, alternative and complementary treatments, advertising, and the economics of health care. It also provides in-depth analyses of the American health care system, insurance options, consumer protection, and complementary and alternative therapies.--From publisher description.

Abstract: The report of the Task Force on Consumer Health Education provides guidelines to policy development in disease prevention, health promotion, and health education. The report emphasized the relation of health status to life style and the timeliness of the current challenge of consumer health education. Current programs, practices, and problems in health education are summarized and analyzed. Major themes of the report are: 1) individual behavior and life style, influenced by internal and external factors, play a major role in health, illness, disability, and premature death; 2) the individual is responsible for informed choices in health care and behavior change; 3) health education is multidisciplinary; 4) empirical research is needed to assess the long-term effects of health education; 5) substantial resources should be committed to health education; 6) the Federal Government has the responsibility to promote health education and assess the effects of national policy; and 7) health education must be rigorously researched and developed, adequately financed and throughly evaluated.
