Description
Health education promotes lifestyles and environments that enhance health, wellness, and quality of life for individuals and communities. This goal serves as the cornerstone of The Process of Community Health Education and Promotion, Third Edition. The authors provide readers a comprehensive introduction to the information, perspectives, and competencies they will need to successfully promote health in community, school, workplace, and health care settings. Rooted in an interprofessional paradigm, the importance of collaborative partnerships is explored throughout the text. The latest edition sparks critical thinking, discussion, and action by including real-world examples and engaging questions. A strong emphasis on social determinants and their influence shapes the updated section on health equity, which ends with a discussion on essential elements for promoting this universal human right. Special features highlighted throughout this action-oriented book showcase the authors’ experiential learning approach. “For Your Information” boxes complement and expand on chapter content. “For Your Application” prompts provide a variety of self-directed or instructor-guided activities. Additionally, appendices include a community assessment project guide and a professional e-portfolio guide, to which many of the activities in the book build toward.
