Praise for the Fourth Edition of Health Behavior and Health Education

This book is an extraordinary resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy markers."

—Susan J. Curry, Ph.D., dean, College of Public Health, University of Iowa

"This unique volume, with its astonishing breadth and depth, richly captures the energy and dynamism that is translating insight into intervention, planning into practice, and analysis into action. Both public health students and practitioners will find the book engaging and useful."

—Howard Koh, MD, MPH, Harvey V. Fineberg Professor of the Practice of Public Health and associate dean, Public Health Practice, Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health

"The newest edition of Health Behavior and Health Education is a terrific volume linking theory to research and practice in the continuum of health behavior change. It reminds us of the need for theory to help us ask the right questions to move forward efficiently. There are few classic texts in the health behavior arena—and this is one of them."

—Michael Stefanek, Ph.D., vice president, Behavioral Research and director, Behavioral Research Center, American Cancer Society

Hoping to aid the health education community understand how theory informs research and practice and vice versa, Glanz (social and behavioral sciences, Cancer Research Center of Hawai'i at the U. of Hawai'i), Rimer (health behavior and health education, U. of North Carolina School of Public Health), and Lewis (nursing, U. of Washington) present 24 papers that look at the application of behavioral theory in a variety of settings. After defining key terms and concepts, four chapters focus on particular bodies of the theory: the health belief model, the theory of reasoned action and planned behavior, the transtheoretical model, and the precaution adoption process plan. Further chapters examine interpersonal theories; social cognitive theory, social networks, and social support; models for the community or aggregate levels of change; and finally, applications of overarching planning and process models.
