Bacteriological discoveries of the last third of the nineteenth century gave rise to radical shifts in understanding the causes and methods of controlling infectious diseases. In Quebec, between 1880-1900, two physicians and a women's organization led the health education movement. We describe firstly the origins of that movement within the context of public health conditions. Secondly we analyze the content of an educational popular periodical: Le Journal d'hygiène populaire, which the two physicians edited in succession. Lastly, we discuss the establishment and contributions of the Montreal Local Council of Women (MLCW).
19世纪最后三分之一时期的细菌学发现，引发了人们对传染病病因及控制方法认识上的彻底转变。在魁北克，1880年至1900年间，两位医生和一个妇女组织引领了健康教育运动。我们首先描述该运动在公共卫生状况背景下的起源。其次，我们分析一份教育类通俗期刊《大众卫生杂志》的内容，该杂志先后由这两位医生编辑。最后，我们讨论蒙特利尔妇女地方理事会（MLCW）的成立及贡献。
