Synopsis

A comprehensive profile of the history and future of health promotion in Canada. Now in its third edition, this book maintains the critical, sociological, and historical perspective of the previous two editions and adds a greater focus on health promotion practice. Thoroughly updated and reorganised, the book now contains 18 chapters by prominent academics, researchers, and practitioners. The authors cover a broad range of topics, including key theories and concepts in health promotion; ecological approaches; Aboriginal approaches; health inequalities; reflexive practice; ethics; issues, populations, and settings as entry points for intervention; and the Canadian health promotion experience in a global context. Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking discussion questions and carefully chosen resources for further study, making this an ideal text for courses in health sciences, nursing, and related disciplines.
