Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) Midyear Meeting, June 17-20,
1999, Minneapolis/St. Paul Hilton Hotel, in cooperation with the
International Union for Health Promotion and Education, North American
Regional Office.

This conference,  "New Challenges in Health Promotion: Reaching Beyond our
Boundaries,"  is intended to challenge health educators from Canada, the
United States, and the U.S. territories of North America to reach beyond
geographic, language, cultural and other boundaries to improve the
effectiveness of population and individual-based behavior change.  In
particular, the conference will focus on five areas related to health
promotion evidence, theory, and practice: economics and health care systems
access and quality; community interventions; vulnerable populations;
evaluation and evidence-based outcomes; and linkages between research and
practice.
