"This inspiring and practical guide to people-centred health promotion focuses on: putting a people perspective at the centre of health promotion concerns; improvement of health-related quality of life, rather than just prevention of disease; empowering communities to develop and maintain their own self-determined action in health promotion; taking a developmental approach to intervention and evaluation within communities. People-Centred Health Promotion will be essential reading for all students, researchers and practitioners in health promotion, community development and public health." --Back cover.
