What Role Do PCPs Play in Health Education and Promotion?
Health education and promotion are essential for empowering individuals to make informed health choices. PCPs educate patients about the importance of vaccinations, healthy diets, regular exercise, and other preventive measures. They also provide resources and support for managing chronic conditions. Through patient education, PCPs contribute to the primary prevention of diseases and the promotion of healthier lifestyles, which are core objectives of epidemiology.
