Abstract

This article addressed the applicability of marketing concepts to the delivery of community health programs, with specific emphasis on health promotion. The realization that marketing has much to offer community health is not new. However, the article “highlights” health promotion and develops a framework that integrates the goals, action criteria and feasible actions that can lead to behavioral and environmental changes conducive to health.
