This book articulates a clear four-phase framework for planning, creating, implementing, and evaluating multilevel community health promotion interventions that target individual, physical, and social environments. Each phase is described in thorough detail and accompanied by in-depth examples so that students and professionals understand how to apply the framework from beginning to end.

Additional guidelines review how to adapt existing interventions to new contexts. Important underlying theoretical material, including theories of behavior change, are also reviewed.

She has been the lead on many successful interventions involving youth and adults, concerning multiple health problems and associated behaviors, and this has resulted in a framework based on science and achievement. Her clarity reflects this wealth of knowledge, and she gifts us with clear and cogent steps to making our communities healthier places. -- Cheryl L.
