Description
A comprehensive guide to health program planning and implementation is offered in this landmark text. For over 40 years, the PRECEDE-PROCEED model has been applied worldwide to address various health issues, from risk factors like tobacco and lack of exercise to social determinants of health such as access to transportation and safe housing. This book provides a high-level guide to public health programming, aligning with foundational competencies required by certification and accreditation standards. It addresses the rapid changes in modern-day conceptions of disease prevention and health promotion, particularly in response to the coronavirus pandemic and climate crisis. The guide offers students knowledge, skills, and tools for systematic planning, implementation, and evaluation of program and policy solutions. By combining expertise from senior editors and chapter authors, this book provides a valuable resource for public health practitioners and researchers seeking to address complex health challenges, including population inequities.
