Public Health is rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing university programs in the United States. As the landscape of public health challenges evolves, practitioners face increasingly complex issues. The Encyclopedia of Primary Prevention and Health Promotion, 2nd Edition addresses these challenges by covering more than 250 essential topics, taking a comprehensive lifespan approach to public health and prevention strategies.
This extensive encyclopedia is organized into four informative volumes:
- Volume 1: Foundational Topics
- Volume 2: Early Childhood and Childhood
- Volume 3: Adolescence
- Volume 4: Adulthood and Older Adulthood
Within each volume, the encyclopedia addresses critical issues of illness prevention and health promotion, often referred to as positive psychology. Each chapter-length entry is arranged alphabetically and features a structured format that includes:
- Introduction
- Definition of Terms
- Prevalence
- Theories
- Empirical Studies
- Strategies: What Works, What Is Promising, What Doesn’t Work
