Emerging Theories in Health Promotion Practice and Research [EPUB ebook] 

‘Here is a ‘must-read’ for all health promotion researchers and
practitioners eager to stay one step ahead of the pack. A panoply
of insightful and promising new approaches is presented for
consideration and exploration in our contemporary behavioral
science arsenal.’

— M. Elaine Auld, MPH, CHES, Chief Executive Officer, Society
for Public Health Education

‘This book is an essential addition to the health practice and
research literature, concentrating on theories that have not been
extensively covered elsewhere and that have great currency. It
provides an up-to-date rendition on the interplay among
contemporary public health concerns, sound public health practice,
and the theoretical bases for practice.’– Robert M. Goodman,
Ph D, MPH, Dean and Professor, School of Health, Physical Education,
and Recreation, Indiana University

‘The authors of Emerging Theories provide vivid descriptions of
the state of the science in health promotion and presents an
exciting map for future research. Understanding and using theories
is the hallmark of an excellent practitioner. Creating and
elaborating theories is the mark of an excellent researcher. This
text will be very valuable for both.’

— Noreen M. Clark, Ph D, Myron E. Wegman Distinguished
University Professor; Director, Center for Managing Chronic
Disease, University of Michigan

‘Emerging Theories captures the dynamic growth in theories of
health promotion and illustrates how divergent theoretical
perspectives are being integrated into richer explanatory and
practice models.’

Medicine; Director, Health Communication Research Laboratory,
Washington University in St. Louis
