People-Centred Public Health de Jane South

People-Centred Public Health: Evidence for Public Health Practice

Autor Jane South, Judy White, Mark Gamsu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 dec 2012
People-Centred Public Health examines how members of the public can be involved in delivering health improvement through volunteering. Drawing on a study of lay engagement in public health and using case studies and real-life examples, this timely book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of policy, practice, and research in this area. In an economic and political climate where there is renewed interest in the role of the citizen, the authors challenge old orthodoxies in public health and build a coherent argument for radical change in the way public agencies support lay action.

Recenzii

"I recommend this book to anyone interested in the future of public health. It offers a compelling guide to the policies, research and practice for anyone engaged in helping people and communities to become active citizens taking control of the factors that will radically improve their health."

“A clear and lively presentation of the issues from the perspectives of paid staff and lay health workers. . . . A good introduction to key theoretical and practical issues about lay involvement in health promotion.”

"Acknowledging citizens are part of the solution, not the problem, could lead to a 21st century flourishing of Public Health as important as the first one in the 19th century."

“Participation is essential to health promotion action and people have to be at the centre of decision-making processes for it to be effective. This book offers a valuable, critical and timely analysis as government policy develops on active citizenship.”
