A time-tested, landmark approach to health promotion and
communication projects and everything that goes into making them
successful. For more than 40 years, the PRECEDE-PROCEED model,
developed in the early 1970s by Lawrence W. Green and first
published as a text in 1980 with Marshall W. Kreuter, Sigrid G.
Deeds, and Kay B. Partridge, has been effectively applied worldwide
to address a broad range of health issues: risk factors like
tobacco and lack of exercise, social determinants of health such as
lack of access to transportation and safe housing, and major
disease challenges like heart disease and guinea worm disease. In
Health Program Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation, Green and
his team of senior editors and chapter authors combine their
expertise to offer a high-level guide to public health programming.
This guide aligns with foundational public health competencies
required by increasingly rigorous certification and accreditation
standards. Driven by the coronavirus pandemic and a looming climate
crisis, the book addresses the rapid changes in modern-day
conceptions of disease prevention and health promotion. Today's
public health practitioners and researchers are often called upon
to address a complex web of factors, including population
inequities, that influence health status, from biology to social
and structural determinants. Program and policy solutions to
population health challenges require systematic planning,
implementation, and evaluation. Providing students with knowledge,
skills, and a range of tools, the book recognizes new approaches to
communication and fresh methods for reaching a greater diversity of
communities. The authors highlight the importance of starting the
population health planning process with an inclusive assessment of
the social needs and quality-of-life concerns of the community.
They explain how to assess health problems systematically in
epidemiological terms and address the behavioral and environmental
determinants of the most important and changeable health problems.
They also cover procedures for assessing and developing the
capacity of communities and organizations to implement and evaluate
programs. Drawing on more than 1,200 published applications of the
PRECEDE-PROCEED model, Health Program Planning, Implementation, and
Evaluation features numerous case studies and contributions from
internationally recognized experts, including governmental,
academic, and community public health leaders, giving readers a
thorough and well-rounded view of the subject. Ultimately, it is an
up-to-date powerhouse for community and global health promotion at
all levels. Contributors: Faten Ben Abdelaziz, John P. Allegrante,
