Item An Ecological Perspective on Health Promotion Programs(1988) McLeroy, K. R.; Bibeau, D.; Steckler, A.; Glanz, K.During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in societal interest in preventing disability and death in the United States by changing individual behaviors linked to the risk of contracting chronic diseases. This renewed interest in health promotion and disease prevention has not been without its critics. Some critics have accused proponents of life-style interventions of promoting a victim-blaming ideology by neglecting the importance of social influences on health and disease. This article proposes an ecological model for health promotion which focuses attention on both individual and social environmental factors as targets for health promotion interventions. It addresses the importance of interventions directed at changing interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy, factors which support and maintain unhealthy behaviors. The model assumes that appropriate changes in the social environment will produce changes in individuals, and that the support of individuals in the population is essential for implementing environmental changes.Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified male(1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified male (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified subject, small boy and nurse Rivers in cotton field [in Bad Blood](1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified subject, small boy and nurse Rivers in cotton field [in Bad Blood] National Archive, Atlanta, GAItem Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Eunice Rivers filling out paper work(1932) UNSPECIFIEDNurse Eunice Rivers filling out paper work (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: unidentified male(1932) UNSPECIFIEDunidentified male (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Blood test and unidentified subject(1932) UNSPECIFIEDBlood test and unidentified subject (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Eunice Rivers and unidentified subject in cotton field(1932) UNSPECIFIEDNurse Eunice Rivers and unidentified subject in cotton field (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Nurse Rivers and four unidentified subjects(1932) UNSPECIFIEDLeft: Nurse Rivers and four unidentified subjects (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: Blood test by Mr. William Bouie and unidentified woman(1932) UNSPECIFIEDBlood test by Mr. William Bouie and unidentified woman (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)Item Tuskegee Syphilis Study Pictures: William Bouie, Unidentified subject, and Dr. David Albritton(1932) UNSPECIFIEDLeft: William Bouie, Unidentified subject, and Dr. David Albritton (National Archives, Atlanta, GA)
