Description

With the goal of creating a healthier society, this unique book reviews state-of-the-art research in health promotion, describing the crucial health-related interactions between individuals and their environment. It integrates recent findings on the influence of cultural and economic factors, and establishes a broader context for understanding disease and health--one that encompasses the wide range of influences that lie beyond strictly medical services and programs. The analyses and overviews can serve as a basis for further research in health promotion by medical professionals, researchers, and public health specialists.
