I am a health promotion student and for the past four years this book has been my bible. The combination of the extensive health promotion experience of the two authors has produced a comprehensive, easy to read text interspersed with practical exercises, case studies and cartoons to not only maintain the interest of the reader, but to challenge their views as to what 'health' is and what 'health promotion' encompasses.
This book is useful not only for the health promotion specialist or student, but anyone coming from a health related background or whose job involves any aspect of promoting the health of a particular client group. Issues such as the multitude of views of what health is and who promotes our health are introduced as a precursor to the exploration of what is meant by the term 'Health Promotion'and what are the values of health promotion. Accessible and easy-to-follow guidelines advise on how to identify health promotion needs, practice effectively and how to efficiently plan and evaluate health promoting activities.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough and would also thoroughly recommend 'Health Promotion: Foundations for Practice' by Jennie Naidoo and Jane Wills.
