Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Potvin (U. de Montreal) and McQueen (CDC, Atlanta) edit these articles on the importance of health promotion efforts when it comes to maintaining high standards of living, and how public health intervention from the government may be more beneficial to a particular society than previously thought. ... Written for anyone involved with public health policy, this book also describes how these evaluations can be augmented by community research projects and policy initiatives." (SciTech Book News, December, 2008)
"This book discusses the need to align the values of health promotion with the methodology of the research that evaluates health promotion programs. ... There are several potential audiences for this book, including graduate students, health promotion practitioners, public health decision makers, and evaluators from other fields of evaluation. ... This book fills an important void in the health promotion and evaluation literature." (Sylvia E. Furner, Doody's Review Services, January, 2009)
