English
The world's biggest health care challenges—including HIV, malaria, heart disease, smoking, and violence, among others—are explored in detail in Introduction to Global Health Promotion. The state of the science, including the latest empirical data, is distilled into 19 chapters that update readers on the complex issues surrounding a variety of illnesses and conditions, and disease epidemics and individual, social, institutional, and governmental barriers to preventing them. Expert authors bring to the fore human rights issues, new uses of technology, and practical application of theory. These perspectives, along with the book's multidisciplinary approach, serve to create a well-rounded understanding of global health today.

"Bravo! At last, a solid reference on the latest, state-of-the art thinking and approaches of health promotion in the ever-changing context of practice. . . . In my opinion, this publication should be on the standard reading list for all health promotion departments in schools of public health. The content explores various dimensions of health promotion work in global settings that helps showcase good practice and lessons learned. I especially appreciated the book's practicality and easily accessible language. As such, this publication serves as a valuable, a 'must have' resource for health promotion practitioners working in both developing and industrialized countries."
—Erma Manoncourt, Ph.D. Vice-President of Communications for the International Union of Health Promotion and Education
"This book provides a clear pathway to learn and explore the nuanced details of global health promotion concepts, theories, and implementation strategies used in contemporary health and development projects across the globe. [It] espouses not only some of the most important content areas for global health students and professionals, but such content is infused and enriched by key perspectives and case studies from the field that demonstrate real applications of global health surveillance and program implementation in practice. . . . This book gives a much needed update of global health texts that both contextualizes new complexities and challenges in health promotion work and illustrates critical application of techniques in health promotion delivery. Additional iterations of this text may include more specific data on the successes and failures at the level of health promotion professionals across the globe."
—Muhiuddin Haider, Ph.D., research associate professor, University of Maryland School of Public Health’s Institute for Applied Environmental Health
"The state of global health has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Developing a competent health promotion workfoce is key for building the future and is critical to delivering the vision, values, and commitment of global health promotion (Barry, Allegrante, Lamarre, Auld & Taub, 2009). The book Introduction to Global Health Promotion shares the best evidence on the approaches that have been successful in promoting health and reducing mobidity and mortality in a variety of areas. (...) Global health promotion is more relevant today than ever in addressing public health problems especially with the growth of noncummunicable and chronic diseases globally. These factors have caused an increased interest in health within universities and a call for students to study health from the global perspective."
—Health Promotion Practice, Jennifer Torres, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Los Angeles, and Teachers College, Columbia University, New York.
