Abstract
The authors state this book and the previous edition were written ‘to provide a conceptual synthesis of the roots and foundations of health education...’ (p. xvii). They have expanded this second edition to incorporate health promotion which they define as ‘... the combination of educational and environmental supports for actions and conditions of living conducive to health.’ (p. 4). They propose a single framework for use by all in the field-theorists, planners, researchers, professors, practitioners and students. While they recognize that other professions may have some training in health promotion, they perceive that by and large health educators have the responsibility for health promotion planning.
