Publisher's Synopsis
The Health Promotion Handbook is a practice-driven guide to promoting the health of individuals, families, communities, and groups. Part One of the Handbook explains the context of health promotion and offers a multidimensional model of health promotion, clearly explaining how to use the model in promoting positive health behaviours. Part Two applies the model to nine important health-related behaviours, and supplies a script for directing clients to healthier behaviours in each of the nine areas. Part Three looks at the economic and political aspects of health promotion, and discusses the critical issues affecting the future of health promotion.
