The Fourth Edition introduces students to common theories from behavioral and social sciences that are currently being used in health education and promotion. Each discussion of theory is accompanied by a practical skill-building activity in the context of planning and evaluation, along with a set of application questions that will assist the student in mastering the application of the theory.
