Summary: "In order to develop effective health intervention programs, Public Health professionals need to be able to effectively assess the needs of a population relative to their long-term adoption of health-protective behaviors. While a solid understanding of human behavior theory is an essential tool for designing and implementing successful health promotion programs, changing health behavior requires multiple skills beyond the ability to simply apply theory. This text book examines health behavior theory, through the context of the “New Public Health”. "--Publisher.
