    Health education has evolved from one-on-one and mass media approaches in the 19th century to encompass voluntary learning opportunities that promote health. It became a distinct discipline in the 1940s with a focus on policies, processes and environments that influence population health. Health education and health promotion are often used interchangeably and health education is considered a mature discipline with its own body of knowledge, competencies, ethics and accreditation processes.
