Description
Summary:In its brief history, health promotion, despite its efforts to focus on health rather than disease, as a field of research and practice has generally been associated with efforts at disease prevention. In addition and despite the broadening of the theoretical underpinning of the field up to the present, the disease emphasis continues and is largely focused on the non-communicable diseases. Here, McQueen elaborates on health promotion as applied to infectious diseases. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Inc., copyright holder.]
