商品簡介
In this revision of the 2008 edition, Vollman (community health services, U. of Calgary, Canada) and US colleagues introduce Canadian approaches to the community-as-partner concept and process which aims to improve the collective health of a population and reduce health inequities among population groups. Following an overview of the theoretical foundations of community-empowering practices, policies and the model that guides this process, chapters relate case stories of grassroots networks/projects and planning and implementation strategies employed by field-based practitioners from interdisciplinary perspectives. The text includes critical thinking exercises, suggested readings, a model assessment guide for industry with questions to ask, and resources on a companion website.
