This open access book offers an overview of the beautiful,
powerful, and dynamic array of opportunities to promote health
through the arts from theoretical, methodological, pedagogical, and
critical perspectives. This is the first-known text to connect the
disparate inter-disciplinary literatures into a coherent volume for
health promotion practitioners, researchers, and teachers. It
provides a one-stop depository for using the arts as tools for
health promotion in many settings and as bridges across
communities, cultures, and sectors. The diverse applications of the
arts in health promotion transcend the multiple contexts within
which health is created, i.e., individual, community, and societal
levels, and has a number of potential health, aesthetic, and social
outcomes. Topics covered within the chapters include: Exploring the
Potential of the Arts to Promote Health and Social Justice Drawing
as a Salutogenic Therapy Aid for Grieving Adolescents in Botswana
Community Theater for Health Promotion in Japan From Arts to
Action: Project SHINE as a Case Study of Engaging Youth in Efforts
to Develop Sustainable Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Strategies in
Rural Tanzania and India Movimiento Ventana: An Alternative
Proposal to Mental Health in Nicaragua Using Art to Bridge Research
and Policy: An Initiative of the United States National Academy of
Medicine Arts and Health Promotion is an innovative and engaging
resource for a broad audience including practitioners, researchers,
university instructors, and artists. It is an important text for
undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, particularly in program
planning, research methods (especially qualitative methodology),
community health, and applied art classes. The book also is useful
for professional development among current health promotion
practitioners, community nurses, community psychologists, public
health professionals, and social workers.
