The article provides an overview of efforts to improve public health and health education training and on the potential use of Critical Component Elements (CCEs) for undergraduate health education programs toward more consistent quality assurance across programs. Considered in the context of the Galway Consensus Conference, the authors discuss the need for consistency in health education and public health quality assurance and curricular development. They discuss emerging quality assurance trends in relation to newly approved CCEs by the Association of Schools of Public Health after being developed by the Framing the Future Task Force: The Second 100 Years for Public Health. The CCE development process is discussed including its consideration as a tool program, which can be used to develop or refine undergraduate health education professional preparation programs. The authors suggest that CCEs should be "cross-walked" against existing health education undergraduate-level competencies. The authors conclude that CCEs may serve the long-term health education goal of accreditation for undergraduate health education and promote the tradition of strong undergraduate health education within a broader framework of public health and health promotion.
本文概述了为改善公众健康和健康教育培训而做出的努力，以及在本科健康教育计划中潜在地使用关键组成要素 (CCE) 以实现各计划之间更一致的质量保证。作者在戈尔韦共识会议的背景下，讨论了在健康教育和公共卫生质量保证和课程发展方面保持一致性的必要性。他们讨论了与公共卫生学校协会新批准的 CCE 相关的新兴质量保证趋势，这些 CCE 是由制定未来框架工作队开发的：公共卫生的第二个百年。讨论了 CCE 的开发过程，包括将其视为一种工具计划，可用于开发或完善本科健康教育专业准备计划。作者建议将 CCE 与现有的健康教育本科水平能力进行“交叉对照”。作者得出结论，CCE 可能有助于实现本科健康教育认证的长期健康教育目标，并在更广泛的公共卫生和健康促进框架内促进强大的本科健康教育传统。
