Summary
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Amendments of 1983 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to replace the existing Office of Health Information, Health Promotion, and Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine (within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health of the Department of Health and Human Services) with an Office of Health Promotion, to be headed by a Director. Directs such Office to: (1) coordinate Department and private health information, promotion, and prevention services; (2) establish a national information clearinghouse; and (3) support projects, conduct research, and disseminate information relating to preventive medicine, health promotion, physical fitness and sports medicine. Authorizes appropriations through FY 1986. Repeals specified provisions regarding: (1) program models; (2) physical fitness grants; and (3) sports medicine (transferred under this Act). Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants to academic health centers to establish Centers for Research and Demonstration of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. Sets forth related operating provisions. Requires three such centers to be established in FY 1984, and five centers in each of the subsequent two fiscal years. Authorizes appropriations through FY 1986. Requires an annual health promotion and preventive medicine report to the appropriate congressional committees, with the first report due by January 1, 1984. Establishes an Assistant Director for Prevention position in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to coordinate and promote NIH health promotion and disease prevention programs. Revises full-time student enrollment requirements for schools of public health seeking capitation grants to require that enrollment equal (presently must exceed) 1976 levels.
