I would like to buy a book about health education, health behaviour and with practical examples but I am facing a huge amount of books with these terms in the title or in the summary.
Someone could tell me if there is one better than other in this amount of books. I would have been first to Health Behaviour and Health Education, by Glanz, Rimer and Viswanath which seems to fill my expectations, but as there are others, I would like to have your opinions.
Thank You!
Romain - The 'go to' books, for me, on this matter are an evolving series of books involving Keith Tones and regular collaborators: The 'beauty' of them is that, while there is heavy health education context within them (originally called health education), the nature and intention of health promotion is also covered. They are inter-related - especially if you consider their formulae - health promotion = health education x healthy public policy.
