Methods: Mail survey to a random sample of 700 health educators (80% response rate). Results: Respondents performed a mean of 4.84 (SD=3.16) public policy activities and rated their overall involvement as 2.54 (SD=1.22; range 1 to 5). Factors predictive of public policy involvement included public policy efficacy expectations, total number of perceived benefits, employment setting, years as a health educator, and age. Conclusion: Health educators are involved in public policy activities, although there is opportunity for increased involvement.", pages = "132-142", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/png/ajhb/2000/00000024/00000002/art00006", doi = "doi:10.5993/AJHB.24.2.6" }
