The field of health education needs to establish a conceptual basis that provides a legitimate focus and direction for health education. Health education should recognize that notions of health are human constructs which are restricted by man's interpretation of the functional integrity of the body and mind and relative to the activities and interests of individual societies. Health education should define health as that state of body and mind functioning which affords man the ability to strive towards his functional objectives and his culturally desired goals. The function of health education should be to impart knowledge for the purpose of developing the powers of reason and judgement in order to help people make their own choices about patterns of living which enhance the well functioning of the body and mind.
健康教育领域需要建立一个概念基础，为健康教育提供合理的重点和方向。健康教育应认识到，健康观念是人类构建的，受到人类对身心功能完整性的解释的限制，并与各个社会的活动和利益相关。健康教育应将健康定义为身心功能的一种状态，这种状态使人们有能力朝着其功能目标和文化期望的目标努力。健康教育的功能应该是传授知识，以培养理性和判断力，从而帮助人们就有助于身心良好运作的生活方式做出自己的选择。
