9781118897881 1118897889 Introduction to Global Health Promotion addresses a breadth and depth of public health topics that students and emerging professionals in the field must understand as the world's burden of disease changes with non-communicable diseases on the rise in low- and middle-income countries as their middle class populations grow. Now more than ever, we need to provide health advocacy and intervention to prevent, predict, and address emerging global health issues. This new text from the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) prepares readers with thorough and thoughtful chapters on global health promotion theories, best practices, and perspectives on the future of the field, from the individual to the global level. 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., Learn about the programs and interventions that keep the world healthy "Introduction to Global Health Promotion" addresses a breadth and depth of public health topics that students and emerging professionals in the field must understand as the world's burden of disease changes with non-communicable diseases on the rise in low- and middle-income countries as their middle class populations grow.

These perspectives, along with the book's multidisciplinary approach, serve to create a well-rounded understanding of global health today. Readers will: Gain comprehensive knowledge of today's most pressing global health concerns, such as immunization, STIs, cancer prevention, and global nutrition Learn to develop best-practice programs and interventions by analyzing what has worked and what hasn't in the history of global health Focus on the use of technology in global health prevention and identify emerging opportunities to transform worldwide health practices Become conversant in the latest empirical findings and notable practical applications of global health models From the basics of disease transmission to the complex social, political, and human contexts in which we must work, "Introduction to Global Health Promotion" builds a comprehensive framework that will serve you well on your journey to improve health around the world., The growing health issues we face on a global scale are going to require the active participation of the beneficiaries of programs and policies at individual, community, national, and international levels. Introduction to Global Health Promotion provides a roadmap for students to embark on this proactive and multi?-level journey to improve health around the world. Introduction to Global Health Promotion is designed to address the many discrete, but related, health care challenges (HIV, malaria, sedentary lifestyle associated with heart disease, smoking, alcohol use and abuse, and violence) that place significant strain on the resources of many countries, even highly industrialized countries. The editors and chapter authors canvas the world, describing myriad health promotion practices and approaches, distill the wealth of empirical data into more palatable portions, examine the complexity of events that fuel epidemics and identify potential strategies to ameliorate these epidemics, and, of course, provide the information is a readily understandable format for students and beginning professionals. The book's format includes a thorough presentation of the rationale for each chapter, scope of the specific problem, relevant theory/model components applied to this problem/area, applicability to public health and health promotion, and relevant empirical findings derived from studies in public health or health promotion research and practice. In particular, every chapter on effective approaches will include three boxes: one that highlights a human rights issue or perspective, one that describes some sort of intervention that uses technology, and a third one that shows how one model or theory has been applied to that domain. It also crosses traditionally separate fields of behavioral epidemiology, infectious disease prevention and control, chronic (non?]communicable) disease prevention, health promotion, and systems (social determinants of health, government and organizational) approaches that comprise the broad field of "global health promotion." This book will be attractive to students or professionals who are looking for information about new and emerging issues in global health that can guide programmatic and intervention activities.
