Sustainable Community Health

Abstract

If we want to achieve the goal of sustainable community health, it is imperative to address the broad and multi-level context in which these communities are situated. Understanding and integrating the context (or many contexts) of a community is a challenging task, and this timely volume tackles this issue headon. Drawing on many disciplines and perspectives, this text both integrates strong theoretical perspectives and relies on evidence and pragmatic implementational realities. In doing so, it provides a thoughtful and practical guide for how to build and sustain communities that are active agents in their own health and well-being. I recommend this to anyone seeking to better understand and/ or implement community health programs." -
