What is
my experience in health promotion?
I have worked in more than 35 countries

and carrying out of training programmes.
Below are summarised some of my many
interests.

Some of the sites that I have
found useful to my work are in my links
section (see also links to AIDS/STD. Reproductive Health and Water/Sanitation/Hygiene
given below)
My approach to health promotion
is based on the HESIAD model - in which
Health Education, Service Improvements and Advocacy are combined in
an integrated approach. I first developed this model while working
for WHO's Global Programme on AIDS.
I am interested in exploring the
concept of health empowerment and linking it to underlying processes
of health literacy and self efficacy and you are invited to read and
comment on a review that I am currently
writing on Lesbians.
