Health Education about Tuberculosis in Croatia between WW1 and WW2
Željko Dugac
Sažetak
This article discusses health education
about tuberculosis in Croatia in the period between two
World Wars. As tuberculosis was spread to a large extent
at that time, the health education about the modes of
transmission, prevention and treatment became one of
the basic methods in the fi ght against this disease. A
crucial change in health education was its transformation
from an occasional activity of enthusiastic individuals and
humanitarians to a defi ned activity conducted by specialised
institutions and professionals. The School of Public Health
in Zagreb and numerous newly established tuberculosis
centres played a special role in that fi eld. The League
Against Tuberculosis in Zagreb also took an important
role in health education and organised various activities,
especially during the thirties. Based on archival sources and
secondary literature, this article presents various methods
of health education in the interwar Croatia, i.e. lectures,
fi lm showings, anti-tuberculosis exhibitions, publication of
health education materials, and public manifestations such
as days of fi ght against tuberculosis.
