This popular resource provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of community health nursing. Broad-ranging coverage balances theory with application and explores concepts, tools, family health, health promotion of populations, and implications for future roles for community health nursing.

Other features include: Research Boxes that stimulate an appreciation for the impact of nursing research, Issues Boxes that provide a forum for reviewing current controversial topics, World Watch Boxes that introduce and expose learners to the global and interdependent nature of community health, and the Levels of Prevention Boxes demonstrate application of each level of prevention. New chapters cover Health Care Economics, Infectious/Communicable Disease Management, Vulnerable Population Assessment and Protection.
