Health education involves far more than the mere transmission of a message or the sharing of information. It aims at modifying the behaviour which one seeks to obtain and concerns the participation of the people in the planning process, the installation, the usage, the maintenance and the repairs of a piped water system, and in sanitation. To obtain such a participation, one must know the population concerned and respect its beliefs and traditions. Knowing the people and respecting their beliefs is a first step before one tries to introduce the strategies on which health education is based: organization, training, transmission of messages. The people are divided in groups according to their preparedness to participate. The regional allocation of resources by the central authorities will determine the possibility to implement these strategies. It is always easier to begin in a community which has already had some successful experience in participation.
健康教育所涉及的远不止是单纯传递信息或分享资讯。它旨在改变人们想要达成的行为，涉及人们参与管道供水系统的规划、安装、使用、维护和维修以及卫生设施方面的事务。为了获得这种参与，必须了解相关人群并尊重其信仰和传统。在尝试引入健康教育所基于的策略（组织、培训、信息传递）之前，了解民众并尊重他们的信仰是第一步。根据民众参与的意愿将他们分成不同的群体。中央当局的区域资源分配将决定实施这些策略的可能性。在一个已经有一些成功参与经验的社区开展工作总是更容易些。
