<p>Students of health studies need a multidisciplinary theoretical text that bridges social, behavioural and biological sciences and applies them to health and healthcare. This text provides in a single comprehensive volume coverage of all the major disciplines, perspectives and methodologies of health studies. Each chapter is written by a key academic in a particular discipline, and is divided into three parts covering: the contribution of the discipline to the study of health theoretical and methodological perspectives and an extended case study showing the relevance of the discipline in an applied health setting. "Health Studies: An Introduction" is feature rich, incorporating learning outcomes, chapter overviews and summaries, on page glossary definitions and cross referencing, case studies, examples, further reading and questions for discussion. It will be an essential core text for students of health studies and related courses.</p>

The aim of this book is to identify the difficulties of working for health - a challenge which health service providers in the UK and elsewhere have to face and expect health care professionals to address. Professionals in this area are increasingly having to shift their attention from health promotion to the broader public health arena. To do this poses specific problems - linking theory and practice, identifying and evidence base and establishing guiding principles and values on which practice should be based. The new edition will continue the emphasis on examples from practitioners work which was popular in the first edition but will enhance this aspect by including a much wider range of case study material reflecting the diversity of health promotion practice. All the case studies will be accompanied by commentaries from the authors allowing the reader to see the relevance to their own practice.New focus on the key issues for practice i.e. what drives practice - evidence, values or theory?New vastly expanded range of examples from practice, each with commentary to put them into context.Three New chapters on Strategic issues: Behaviour Change; Community; Public HealthEvidence-base fully updated with recent researchNew chapters in Section 3 on key challenges for practice: Environmental Issues; Substance Misuse
