چکیده

The Clinic Health Education and Lifestyle Promotion (Clinic HELP) Initiative, funded by the Paso del Norte Health Foundation, was designed to extend health education services to medically indigent residents along the US-Mexico border. This paper reports finding of an evaluation that examined the integration of health education into community clinics, and the quantity and quality of health education services delivered. We found that start-up funding, appropriate training, guidance from technical experts, clearly communicated expectations, and having a strong program champion combined with health educator/health agency “fit” can facilitate the integration process. © 2007 Californian Journal of Health Promotion.
