This book for graduate students and professionals articulates a clear
four-phase process for planning, creating, implementing, and
evaluating multilevel community health promotion interventions using a
framework focusing on determinants from the individual, physical, and
social environments. It breaks down each phase into detailed yet
easy-to-follow steps that review important procedures, like
identifying a behaviorally based problem within a community, choosing
the underlying behavioral determinants to be targeted by the
intervention, selecting intervention components and strategies, and
evaluating outcomes to improve and further disseminate the
intervention. Guidelines for engaging community members in the entire
process, building teams, developing a manual of procedures, conducting
pilot studies, and the importance of formative and process evaluation
are reviewed as well. Also presented are instructions for adapting
interventions for new communities. Feature boxes highlight key
information and practical takeaways for students and interventionists.
Detailed case examples that highlight various health promotion efforts
bring the four-phase design process to life, including a recurring
example about a school-based intervention to reduce student
consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages that follows the process from
beginning to end.
