Summary:

Needs and Capacity Assessment Strategies for Health Education and Health Promotion. Third Edition is the only text of its kind available for health and human service practitioners that deals with emerging issues in capacity-focused assessments and community empowerment issues. This edition addresses the alignment of the needs and capacity strategies with already-established planning frameworks, such as the PRECEDE-PROCEED approach, and reviews realistic needs and capacity assessment strategies with considerations for preparation, implementation, and incorporation of the findings into the planning process. Updated to reflect state-of-the-art practitioner involvement in needs and capacity assessments, the third edition contains information on resourceful web sites, application examples in the strategy chapters, examples of assessment tools, and case studies that exemplify the procedures for needs and capacity assessments. This is truly a hands-on, reader-friendly sourcebook of ideas and practical strategies for those in their professional preparation phases, as well as seasoned practitioners in public health, health care, human service, and other community-based professional endeavors.
