本文描述了一个框架和经验证据来支持教育计划和政策是至关重要的公共卫生干预措施的论点。教育和健康的概念得到发展和联系，我们回顾了广泛的实证研究，以阐明联系的途径并探索影响。基础教育专业知识和技能，包括基础知识、推理能力、情绪自我调节和互动能力，是健康的重要组成部分。此外，教育是健康的一个基本社会决定因素——健康的上游原因。为了促进健康公平，需要制定缩小低收入或少数种族和族裔人口与高收入或多数人口之间教育成果差距的计划。公共卫生政策制定者、卫生从业者和教育工作者以及卫生和教育部门可以合作实施教育计划和政策，系统证据表明有明确的公共卫生益处。
This article describes a framework and empirical evidence to support the argument that educational programs and policies are crucial public health interventions. Concepts of education and health are developed and linked, and we review a wide range of empirical studies to clarify pathways of linkage and explore implications. Basic educational expertise and skills, including fundamental knowledge, reasoning ability, emotional self-regulation, and interactional abilities, are critical components of health. Moreover, education is a fundamental social determinant of health – an upstream cause of health. Programs that close gaps in educational outcomes between low-income or racial and ethnic minority populations and higher-income or majority populations are needed to promote health equity. Public health policy makers, health practitioners and educators, and departments of health and education can collaborate to implement educational programs and policies for which systematic evidence indicates clear public health benefits.
