The Challenge of Promoting Health : Exploration and Action (2nd ed)

Revised and updated to reflect changes in health promotion practice, policy and research, "The Challenge of Promoting Health" explores the potential at the local level for communities to be involved in promoting their own health and examines the role of statutory agencies and other organizations in the making of healthy public policy.

This book should be of continued interest to all those committed to promoting health, especially those working in the health and social care fields.

This text is designed for students on health promotion courses, including Open University course K301 "Promoting Health: Skills, Perspectives and Practice".
