Format:Paperback
I have used this book since it was originally published in 1994.
It is easy to read and provides comprehensive information on the theory of health promotion, issues for practice, assessment and places for implemention.
I am now studying MSc Health Promotion and still use this book for reference. I would recommend it for students studying Health Promotion Diploma modules, Community Health District Nursing or Health Visiting Degrees and for student nurses.
