Effectiveness of health education for the prevention of acute diarrheal diseases

Abstract

Similar investigations have reported a degree of ignorance regarding acute diarrheal diseases in parents of risk groups. Several investigations have addressed the issue of health education as a determining factor in disease prevention. Health policies are obliged to keep effective prevention strategies in force and propose a continuous and exhaustive search for new policies that help banish ADD from the main causes of morbidity in vulnerable groups. The current challenge is to mitigate the social determinants and care for the population with risk factors. In this review, we evaluated and systematized publications looking for evidence of the effectiveness of health education in the prevention of acute diarrheal disease.
