Improving Healthcare Through Advocacy: A Guide for the Health and Helping Professions

Social workers and front line health care workers can help solve these problems, but effective advocacy is a learned skill. Best-selling author and award-winning researcher Bruce Janssen uses an intervention framework and first-person case studies from a variety of health care workers and consumers to illustrate how everyone in the health care system can advocate effectively not just for individual clients, but for policy change as well.
