Health promotion with young people has largely been framed by
theories of behaviour change to target 'unsafe', 'unhealthy' and/or
'risky' behaviours. These theories and models seek to encourage the
development in young people of reasoned, rational and risk-aware
personal strategies. This book presents an innovative and critical
perspective on young people and health promotion. It explores the
limits and possibilities of traditional health behaviour change
models with their focus on reason, risk and rationality by
examining the embodied dimensions of meaning-making in health
promotion programs. Drawing on an array of critical social theories
and approaches to knowledge production the authors identify and
engage the aesthetic and affective dimensions of young people's
engagement with issues such as road safety, sexualities, alcohol
and drug use, and physical and mental health and well-being. The
book will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the fields of
health promotion and health education, public health, education,
the sociology of health and illness, youth studies and youth work.
