[Mahnoor]

A comprehensive guide and the one-stop resource for use of theories of health education, health behavior, and health promotion to plan and implement health interventional programs. It manages to collate various theories in a single resource all in an easy, jargon-free language. Must-read for beginners in public health or those interested in health promotion and behavior.

[Shaazi]

Books does what is says. It’s a small book covering all the main theories in health promotion.

[Jake The Stripper]

The most accessible health promotion learning material I have ever come across.

[Donald Schopflocher]

Boy, is health promotion ever way way behind.
