Abstract
The Society for Public Health Education, Inc. (SOPHE), through the Research and Evaluation Committee (REC) of the Tennessee chapter has surveyed its membership to determine characteristics of members, members' opinions of the organization and the benefits derived, usefulness of SOPHE publications, and the most important health education issues and goals. Survey results provide an employment profile of the membership, and indicate the membership benefits which are most valued; they also suggest that the organization's goals and its activities be expanded in scope to include, in addition to other areas, greater attention to health education practice, to planning legislation, to funding, and to cooperation with the American Public Health Association in the general promotion of health education. REC presents recommendations based on these findings.
