“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. This book provides a thoughtful and practical guide for how to build and sustain communities that are active agents in their own health and wellbeing.”
—Joshua M. Smyth, Distinguished Professor of Biobehavioral Health and Medicine, Pennsylvania State University, USA
“This comprehensive yet highly readable text integrates health and behavioral theory with practical strategies, resulting in a roadmap for improving the health of communities in ways that prioritize sustainability. The approaches detailed by Mpofu and colleagues are grounded in principles of social justice, and intended to redress health inequities that have persisted for centuries.”
—Elizabeth R. Bertone-Johnson, Professor of Epidemiology and Chair of Health Promotion and Policy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
