A handy reference for health promotion frameworks, strategies and tools, this classic book focuses on national health promotion priorities identified in Healthy People 2010 - with special emphasis on culturally and racially diverse populations. The new edition of this text will expand upon the vision of the two new co-authors incorporated in the last edition. It will continue to be theory based but will include more application of health promotion.
