Items related to People–Centred Health Promotion
This is a practical guide to what is regarded as a "third wave" in international health promotion. Beginning with a detailed examination of its history and basic concepts, the book then moves on to provide step-by-step guidance to setting up people-centred health promotion activities, using a planned model called "People Systems". Examples of successful projects are given, and the book ends with a discussion of the potential for applying the "true democracy" principles of people-centred health promotion to society as a whole. The book encapsulates the growing international sentiment that health promotion should have strong community development, empowerment and "people" orientation. It features quality of life, culture and spirituality as major topics.
