GREEN, Lawrence W.. Policies for decentralization and development of health education. Rev. Saúde Pública [online]. 1988, vol.22, n.3, pp. 217-220. ISSN 0034-8910.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-89101988000300008.

How the policy of action and professional standards have influenced the development and decentralization of health education is discussed. It is concluded that a review of policies both of developing as well as of developed countries could help to put some observations into a perspective that is closer to the Brazilian reality.
