Summary:

This user-friendly resource, Dictionary of Public Health Promotion and Education, provides definitions of a wide range of terms and concepts commonly used by health professionals in the field of health promotion and education, as well as in other professions related to health education. The terms included reflect the process of health promotion and education rather than focusing on disease-specific terminology and are relevant to the four settings of health promotion and education -- community, workplace, primary care, and school. Key terms from related public health disciplines such as epidemiology, health administration, biostatistics, environmental health, and behavioral sciences are also defined. The first part of the dictionary delineates the selected terms, while the second part lists, in alphabetical order, the important professional and voluntary agencies and organizations that students and practicing health educators need to know.

An indispensable resource, Dictionary of Public Health Promotion and Education may be used as a companion to health education texts and courses of study, as well as a reference for practicing health educators.
