Promoting Health

A best-seller since 1985, this 5th edition has been fully revised and updated. It takes account of developments in the new millennium such as revised national strategies for health in the UK, the modernisation of the National Health Service, and the advent of national programmes to tackle the root causes of inequalities in health. It features recent innovations such as the emergence of a multi-disciplinary public health workforce, new research on the comparative effectiveness of different approaches to health promotion, and the impact of information and communication technology. Other new features include a glossary of jargon commonly used in public health and health promotion, and website addresses for further information.
