“…A marijuana-sharing item was included to test for failure to differentiate between sharing drug needles and sharing nonintravenous drugs as risk factors for AIDS. Finally, the six true cancer risk factors have all been associated to at least some degree with increased cancer risk (Fox & Tem-oshok, 1988;Newell & Webber, 1983), although they might better be understood as unhealthy life-style factors that contribute to a number of noninfectious diseases.…”

The development of concepts of disease causality was explored by asking 9-, 11-, and 13-year-olds and college students about risk factors for AIDS, colds, and cancer. Their knowledge became more accurate and differentiated with age. Although younger children knew a good deal about what causes each of the diseases, they lacked knowledge of what does not cause them, often inferring that risk factors for one disease, especially AIDS, cause other diseases as well. Knowledge of true risk factors for a disease was largely independent of knowledge of non-risk factors, and knowledge of one disease was largely independent of knowledge of another. These findings provide clues as to how disease understandings evolve with age and suggest that health educators must both understand students' current knowledge structures and explicitly teach students to make important differentiations between risk and non-risk factors for a given disease and between distinct diseases.

“…In fact, there is abundant evidence to suggest that current physician (and other health-care provider) communication practices fail to supply consumers with satisfactory levels of health information (Hess, Liepman, & Ruane, 1983;Kreps, 1990;Newell & Webber, 1983;Orleans, George, Houpt, & Brodie, 1985;Relman, 1982;Wechsler, Levine, Idelson, Rohman, & Taylor, 1983). This implies that, to become wellinformed, consumers need actively to seek out relevant health information from their doctors and a variety of other sources.…”

Promoting a Consumer Orientation to Health Care and Health Promotion

There is a compelling need to establish a consumer orientation to health care to address the troubling imbalance of power between providers and consumers in the modem health-care system. This power imbalance has systematically disenfranchised and marginalized health-care consumers. Adoption of a consumer orientation that focuses institutional attention and resources specifically on fulfilling the physical and psychological needs of the consumer, equalizing influence and control between health-care providers and consumers, and empowering consumers to make informed decisions about their health care will help promote social justice within the modem health-care system. Strategies are suggested to help providers and consumers develop and promote a consumer orientation in modem health care.
