The essence of public health advocacy is spreading the word-spreading the word to members of one's community about ways to protect and promote health, and spreading the word to decision makers about health policies that need to be enacted. The authors profile 2 women who spread the word-one who focuses on breast cancer in the Asian American community and one who works in cooperation with churches in the fight against HIV/AIDS in African and African American communities-and discuss the importance of "creating shoulders for others to stand on" in the fight for social change.
公共卫生宣传的核心在于传播信息——向社区成员传播保护和促进健康的方法，向决策者传播需要制定的卫生政策。作者介绍了两位传播信息的女性——一位专注于美籍亚裔社区的乳腺癌问题，另一位在非洲和非裔美国人社区与教会合作抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病——并讨论了在争取社会变革的斗争中“为他人创造立足之肩”的重要性。
