Health Promotion: An AnthologyThese ground-breaking studies have had a lasting impact and attest to the belief that public health requires a holistic point of view, rather than one limited to disease prevention and control. The papers that comprise the anthology were selected to meet two objectives: to disseminate a wide range of information and to illustrate the growth and development of health promotion as a world-wide strategy. More than 50 public health experts from four continents contributed to the anthology. Their papers illustrate the diverse nature of health promotion topics and are presented in five "Parts": Developing a Framework Building Healthy Public Policy Strengthening Community Action Developing Personal Health Skills Health Promotion for Specific Groups Key documents in the health promotion movement in the Americas-the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, Health Promotion and Equity (the Declaration of Bogot), and the Caribbean Charter for Health Promotion-supplement the text. A glossary of health promotion terms and concepts completes the collection. |
