Health Promotion

This introductory text offers a comprehensive overview of the field of health promotion. Drawing on Australian and international research, the authors provide a detailed review of health promotion principles. They demonstrate how these principles fit into the broader public health context, and how they can be integrated into practice in a range of settings, including the workplace, schools, rural communities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and health care organizations. The authors also include a step-by-step guide to programme management from planning to evaluation. This second edition has been fully revised and includes new data and case studies. The book should be a valuable resource for students, as well as for health professionals in a range of fields, including health promotion, public health, community health, occupational health and safety, school health, rural health, nutrition and environmental health.
