Drawing from such fields as cognitive and organizational psychology, markeing, and communicationg, the editors explain the new, diverse factors affecting health behavior. They analyze a variety of theories and apply them to health promotion and education, exploring three different levels in each approach: individual, interpersonal, and group or community. In addition, the updated version addresses the challenge of making theory relevant and useful in populations with varied sociodemographic and cultural backgrounds.
