One task of adulthood is caring for one's health and, for many, caring for the health of children, a partner or spouse, and\/or aging parents. Changes in health or the desire for improved health often prompt the need for individuals to learn--and adult education can play a vital role in enabling this learning. \u003cp\u003eEditor Lilian H.
