Abstract
The Partners-in-Health network includes 40 independent businesses, social service agencies, and private physicians from an inner-city neighborhood in Houston, Texas, with a high prevalence of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases. Since 1998 the partners have learned about syphilis control and prevention in their neighborhood; distributed a variety of health education materials, including more than 200,000 male condoms, 5,000 flyers, and 5,000 grocery bags; and displayed other health education materials printed with syphilis prevention messages in their stores, offices, or places of work. The partners represent a new front line for health promotion, extending education and prevention resources into the daily lives of community residents.
