商品簡介
Citing the fact that “health follows a social gradient”--economic inequality begets health inequality--Green, Tones, Cross, and Woodall spotlight the big issues that threaten health--poverty and deprivation, discrimination and exploitation, and violence in all forms, not to mention climate change and environment degradation. They aim to demonstrate how to maximize the potential of health promotion, thus, making a major contribution to tackling contemporary health problems, improving the health of individuals and communities through the use of systematic planning with regard to evidence, theory and values at each stage of the planning cycle. Eleven chapters are: health and health promotion; assessing health and its determinants; the determinants of health actions; health promotion planning--a systematic approach; information needs; healthy public policy; education for health; mass communication; working with communities; settings for health; evaluation.
