The Fourth Edition of Principles and Foundations connects you to research, resources and practitioners in health education while providing a solid foundation in the history, philosophy, theory, and ethics of health education.

 

This text continues to provide the best overall introduction to the emerging profession of Health Promotion and Education by covering the roles and responsibilities of health educators, the settings where health educators are employed, and the ethics of the profession. In addition to covering the history of health, health care, and health education, the book provides a preview of what the future may hold for health promotion and education professionals.

  • Seven New Practitioner's Perspective boxes provide personal stories of health educators including how they obtained their jobs, what they like most and least, and their perspectives on important health issues.
  • Case Studies at the end of each chapter encourage students to think as health educators.
  • Critical Thinking Questions and Activities at the end of each chapter extend students' thinking beyond the material covered in the text and gain a better understanding of health promotion and education.
  • Chapter objectives, key terms, summary, review questions, and references appear in each chapter.

  • Updated and expanded web link sections at the end of each chapter provide and extensive list of related websites with short description to guide students.
  • Case Studies at the end of each chapter encourage students to think as health educators. Topics of the new case studies (in Chapters 3 and 7) include how to create a health education philosophy and how to look for a new job in health education.
  • Seven new Practitioner Perspective boxes have been rewritten to reflect current issues, including a health promotion coordinator of cancer detection programs, a tobacco treatment program coordinator, and a wellness coordinator for an insurance company.
  • Updated information on important issues and trends includes the new National Health Education Standards, the CUP Project, and how to excel in a health education career.
