摘要：
The purpose of this article is to introduce the relatively new field of public health informatics and provide examples of how informatics is currently being applied to health promotion activities. Additionally, the article illustrates how informatics is well positioned to play a central role and is likely to be central to disease prevention, health education, and health promotion as it will be practiced in the future.
