The present review study made a refresh looking at one of the important medical topics, health promotion, and disease prevention. Health promotion and disease prevention are concerned with reducing the rates of injuries and mortality rates, particularly among children. The authors reviewed the most cited literature in this field. Contributing to a better understanding of the multidimensional role of education as a field where health practices and behaviors could be strengthened has been the main goal of this study. Building, updating, and sharing knowledge on good practices for achieving these goals have been major topics coming from each of the contributors to this book. This combined and collective group effort has brought a consistent and dense set of proposals and concrete strategies for strengthening the role of education in health promotion and disease prevention of children and adolescents. The potential of concrete interventions and educational programs and/or strategies of some concrete examples of projects and interventions is an aspect that is very well presented and supported in the texts reported here.
