[Evaluation of health education training in a French region].

In the context of the National Health Education Plan launched in 2001, the Nord/ Pas-de-Calais Region engaged itself in reflection and debate on how to improve health education practices. The teaching curricula of health education programmes from the regional paramedical, social and teacher training schools were studied. They were then compared with a set of official texts on the subject (including the national report by Sandrin Berthon) which provide regulations and guidance for this type of teacher training.
