Health Promotion Settings

Health Promotion Settings combines the theoretical discourse of the settings approach, covering a wide range of fundamental principles, concepts and policy issues, with real life examples of settings, including workplaces, schools, neighborhood, cities and prisons. Combining theory with practical examples and case studies, Angela Scriven and Margaret Hodgins show how a settings approach can work in practice, drawing on a range of local, national and international initiatives and coordinated projects.

′This text provides a comprehensive overview of current thinking on the theory and practice of a settings approach to health promotion. This book will be a valuable resource for practitioners and students of health promotion and public health′ -
