More and more, health promotion is a crucial component of public health, to the extent that public health interventions are called on to prove their effectiveness and appraised for scientific validity, a practice many in the field consider self-defeating. Health Promotion Evaluation Practices in the Americas cogently demonstrates that scientific rigor and the goals of health promotion are less in conflict than commonly thought, synthesizing multiple traditions from countries throughout North, Central, and South America (and across the developed-to-developing-world continuum) for a volume that is both diverse in scope and unified in purpose. INDICE: From the contents Introduction.- Section 1: Health Promotion Evaluation in the Americas.- Section 2: Issues in Health Promotion Evaluation: Fitting Evaluation Practice to Health Promotion.- Section 3: Aligning Evaluation with Health Promotion Principles: Experiences from the Americas.
