The controversy over the most efficacious approach to health education is presented as a debate between the individualist perspective which stresses lifestyle change and the structuralist perspective which emphasizes change in socio-political conditions. Within the context of nutrition education for Canadian children as a case study, the two perspectives are compared and contrasted with respect to their definitions of (1) the root causes of poor health, (2) the most appropriate strategies for health education programs and (3) the training and subsequent role of the health educator in health promotion. The authors discuss the conflict between the two perspectives and suggest that synthesis is needed for progressive health promotion for Canadian children to occur.
