′In short, Lloyd and Lucas′ approach is challenging in its
emphasis on a ′positive′ and holistic orientation to health and
always humane in its emphasis on quality of life and, in the
authors′ words, ′the indivisibility of the individual from
society′ -Professor Keith Tones Health Promotion is a major focus of
government policy and an expanding area of practice involving a range
of public health professionals. At the same time, there is much debate
about what is meant by "health" and the best strategies for improving,
developing and promoting it. In light of these debates, Health
Promotion offers a major reappraisal of health promotion activity,
examining the evidence for what actually works and highlighting issues
for improving efficacy. The field of health promotion has
traditionally drawn from diverse fields including health psychology,
epidemiology, political science and educational theory. The authors
argue that the effect of this has often been an unhelpfully fragmented
view of people and their health. They propose an alternative, more
integrated view as means of better understanding people and for making
public health strategies more effective. Health Promotion: Evidence
and Experience makes thought-provoking reading for all those involved
in public health and those with an interest in finding new ways to
improve health outcomes.
