This study interviewed 263 persons to examine the organization, functions, activities, and effects of the national Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program. The findings describe a national network of school and community partnerships engaged in planning and implementing educational activities responsive to changing health care needs. Individual AHECs differ; all have unique, beneficial functions. (Author/MSE)
