Health Promotion Moving Forward: A Population Health Approach is the most current foundational health promotion textbook to dynamically reflect upon the collective pandemic experience, the lessons learned, and the strategies for national recovery. With a focus on the structural and social determinants of health that affect health equity, this textbook dives deeply into risk factors for today's leading causes of death and morbidity, with chapters tackling health challenges, behaviors, and programs related to tobacco products; food; physical activity; mental health; addiction and substance use; and sexual health. It uniquely takes a population lens, emphasizing the socio-ecological approach to understanding some of the most pressing current threats to individuals, families, and communities, such as food insecurity, climate change, vaccine hesitancy, loneliness, the teen mental health crisis, vaping, and more.


Health Promotion Moving Forward is designed not only for undergraduate and graduate students in health promotion and public health, but also for students pursuing related health professional degrees who need an understanding of health promotion programs, community and population health interventions, and health communication techniques. Readers will learn best practices for working in the community and increase their understanding of the Affordable Care Act's focus on prevention. Throughout, it highlights successful programs, diverse careers, and practical skills to prepare learners for exciting roles in public health. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
