I would like to post a statement of ethics in the lobby of our headquarters, either that of SOPHE or AAHE. Obtain copies of the SOPHE Code of Ethics and the AAHE Code of Ethics. The respective organizations can provide them for you. Please examine the historical achievements of these organizations and their efforts to create a code of ethics. Compare them to the Code of Ethics for the Health Education Profession. Based on your findings, I will determine which Code we will post.

Thank you.

P.S. Read the article – “The Development of a Unified Code of Ethics for the Health Education Profession.”

What are your thoughts?
