Lyn Talbot and Glenda Verrinder

Promoting Health: The Primary Health Care Approach, 3rd edition, is a practical resource which helps health care workers provide accessible and socially sensitive health services. The text introduces a range of approaches to health promotion from individual interventions to social change initiatives, and these form the basis for discussion and examples throughout. An accessible and practical text, Promoting Health draws on current global and local issues and practice, and provides a sound practical and theoretical response.

Promoting Health builds on the sound philosophical approach of the previous editions. It has been thoroughly updated for public health students, educators and professionals who are increasingly being required to address the health challenges arising from changing social and environmental factors.
