Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This new edition advances the discussion
of health as a product of interactions between people and their environments. The social, cultural and political determinants that affect
individual and community health are explored from a multidisciplinary perspective that is relevant to students across the health professions.
The established format and successful pedagogy of previous editions – including chapter objectives, real-world case studies and critical
thinking questions – are retained, and the implications of globalisation continue to be examined against international benchmarks such
as the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. The Jakarta Declaration on Health Promotion into the 21st Century, and the Bangkok Charter
for Health Promotion in a Globalised World are also included as contemporary health promotion guidelines for practice. The text moves
from a primary focus on risk to enhancing capacity and promoting a widespread ?health literacy'. Family as a central dynamic is emphasised
with a greater developmental health focus on critical pathways across the lifespan. Gender and cultural inclusiveness provide an essential
backdrop to evidence-based policy and the provision of equitable health care for all.
Audience
Undergraduate and post-graduate courses in health science and relevant social science courses which include subjects in community or primary health.
