Self-Management and the Health Care Consumer [PDF ebook] 

This book is especially apt for those interested in implementing the practices and strategies that support programmes of health maintenance, preventive health and strategies for bringing about a change in personal and population health outcomes. These initiatives are sorely needed in all sectors of health care and prevention. Indeed, numerous reviews of health systems world-wide have highlighted the centrality of personal behaviours and self management as a key to improving the outcomes for the individual and populations.
