The second edition of A Reader in Promoting Public Health brings
together a selection of readings that explore and challenge current
thinking in the field of multidisciplinary public health. This
thoroughly updated and revised new edition addresses contemporary
issues that are high on the agenda of public health, and enables
the reader to understand and negotiate this broad and dynamic field
of study. The book is organised into five sections, each with an
accessible and student-friendly introduction that pulls together
the key themes and issues: - Back to the future? Reflections on
multidisciplinary public health takes stock of the scope and
ambition of contemporary public health; - Research for
evidence-based practice explores research methods, tools and
techniques for developing effective public health practice; -
Promoting health through public policy examines policy challenges,
responses and key debates at national, international and global
level : - Promoting public health at a local level explores public
health and health promotion in a participatory and community
context; - Public health for the 21st century: whose voices? whose
values? examines debates which expose alternative futures,
priorities and boundaries for public health work. This second
edition includes new material on health inequalities, health
protection, social marketing and health promotion, as well as
highlighting the practical requirements of public health work
through 'grass roots' accounts of practice. It will be essential
reading for all students of public health and health promotion, as
well as for health and social care professionals.
