This update of a 2002 best-selling textbook provides a comprehensive review of the scientific basis of health promotion to foster healthier behaviors and lives. The book is logically organized according to level of analysis, e.g., individual, community, and ecological levels of intervention. The purpose is to provide up-to-date information on innovations in the science of health promotion practice and research and practical examples of application.
