Community-Centered Public Health provides students of public health and related health professions with the strategies, tools, and applications needed to build and deliver effective public health programs. This practical textbook emphasizes the importance of integrating community leaders throughout the program planning, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination processes, and of tailoring public health approaches based on culture, context, values, and the environment to advance health equity and improve population health. Community-Centered Public Health equips students with key frameworks, knowledge, skills, and an appropriate mindset for working with communities to deliver community-centered initiatives across public health domains.


This text delivers detailed discussions on the community engagement framework, community-centered public health principles, and the key considerations in defining community, establishing community governance, understanding the bidirectional process of leadership and mentorship, and community-centered program evaluation. Community-Centered Public Health also focuses on applications across policy, research, and community practice, community-based participatory research (CBPR), community public health crisis response and resilience, health communication and prevention marketing, and more, to inspire the next generation of public health and community leaders to consistently practice with their communities in mind. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
