| Abstract | This document reports on a survey taken to identify if a concensus exists among college and university health educators as to the: (1) mission or goals of health education; (2) philosophical and research bases of health science; and (3) the relationship of health science to other academic disciplines. Subjects consisted of 603 college and university health educators. Responses were made to a survey examining perceptions of the mission of health science, attitudes toward the discipline, the parameters and scope of health science, the relationship of research to health science, definitions of the disciplines, philosophical orientation, and the relationship of health science to other academic disciplines. Based upon an analysis of survey findings, five significant issues facing health science were identified: (1) to definitively outline the boundaries of the discipline and identify a reasonable body of knowledge as its basis; (2) to develop a professional identity, based upon common goals, policies, and parameters of the discipline; (3) to develop a "typical degree sequence program" for professional preparation which reflects identified competencies of the health educator; (4) to develop an integrated curriculum, one which is balanced and reflective of the evolving nature of health, but possesses utility rather than faddism; and (5) to implement more rigorous evaluation and measurement efforts to identify the strengths and weaknesses of health education programs.
