Within the framework of disease prevention and health promotion are health screenings and health education. Health screenings are methods developed to identify potential and actual health problems in targeted populations.
An appropriate list of healthcare referrals for use in follow-up of identified problems is provided during screenings. Health education is conducted in the community for professionals and lay individuals to address potential and actual health problems.
Screening and education programs may be offered solely by Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated, or offered in collaboration with professional organizations, community organizations, regional associations, and national partnerships. Emphasis is placed on high risk groups, vulnerable and under-served populations.
