Principles and Practice of Health Promotion and Public Health: Canterbury Public Health Series (Unabridged‪)‬

Principles and Practice of Health Promotion and Public Health brings together the disciplines and fields of study that inform the work of promoting health into one book, providing many examples of practice. It starts with understanding ourselves and our health and continues with chapters on working in health promotion and public health.

Together, these communicate the core principles of how to prevent disease and promote health when working with individuals, communities, and populations in any country across the world. The book focusses on adults’ health and includes international and UK examples.

Principles and Practice of Health Promotion and Public Health complements Priorities for Health Promotion and Public Health, published in 2021. Both are core texts for those studying health promotion or public health and supplementary texts for students of health care and social care. They are ideal for public health practitioners and members of the wider public health workforce.
