Abstract
How do people make use of health education materials? In this article, the authors distinguish between four different types of knowledge concerning health: theoretical knowledge about causes of illness, applied knowledge about how to lead a healtheir everyday life, experiential knowledge about the consequences of action, and intuitive subconscious knowledge about what one ought to do. The article suggests that knowledge has a backpack function, that is, that health education has an indirect effect on changes in lifestyle through the filling of the knowledge backpack, with which new experiences and information are then compared.
