An expanded role for educated consumers interacting with responsive healthcare teams is a central thrust of the health reform. However, the benefit of health education also requires a high degree of commitment for individuals. Population studies have documented the gap between expectations and actual behaviour performance related to healthcare participation and prevention. Self-care interventions have demonstrated improvements in efficiency, patient satisfaction, coping skills, and social assistance perceptions. Trials of self-management or lifestyle interventions under conditions such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure and rheo-arthritis have seen significant clinical benefits. However, many studies focus on short-term results rather than long-term effects. It is also clear that participation in patient education programmes is not evenly distributed among socio-economic groups. This review examines three other issues that may be important for enhancing the impact of patient education on public health. The first is health literacy, capable of seeking, understanding and acting on health information. While health literacy involves the skills of an individual, health care has a major responsibility in establishing the health interaction parameters and the style, content and information mode.
