Health Promotion: Principles and practice in the Australian context

This widely-used introductory text offers a comprehensive overview of the field of health promotion. Drawing on current Australian and international research, the authors provide a detailed review of health promotion principles. They demonstrate how these principles fit into the broader public health context, and how they can be integrated into practice in a range of settings, including the workplace, schools, rural communities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and health care organisations.

The authors also include a step-by-step guide to program management from planning to evaluation.

This second edition has been fully revised and includes new data and case studies.

Health Promotion is an essential text for students and a valuable resource for health professionals in a range of fields, including health promotion, public health, community health, occupational health and safety, school health, rural health, nutrition and environmental health.
