Product Description
The groundbreaking first edition of Health Behavior and Health Education, published in 1990, provided a comprehensive and in depth analysis of health behavior theories relevant to health education.This completely revised second edition brings the most current information on developments in theory, research, and practice. Drawing from such fields as cognitive and organizational psychology, markeing, and communicationg, the editors explain the new, diverse factors affecting health behavior. They analyze a variety of theories and apply them to health promotion and education, exploring three different levels in each approach: individual, interpersonal, and group or community. In addition, the updated version addresses the challenge of making theory relevant and useful in populations with varied sociodemographic and cultural backgrounds.

The "Ne Plus Ultra" for Learning About Health Behavior Theory
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-08-07
Known at our school as the "purple book," Glanz/Rimer 3e remains the go-to introduction to theories and models in health behavior and health education. Many of the entries are by leading practitioners, researchers, and theorists in the field. Unless you have read through and studied this book, you simply are not educated in this topic.

Good book for a class on Health Behavior and Health Education Theories. Good for graduate level work. Theories broken into chapters. Each chapter has the theory history, significant time line for the theory, chart and descriptions of the constructs, and examples where research has used the theory effectively. Examples in book make use of the theory more understandable.

I purchased this book to use as a reference for a Graduate Project on Health Promotion. I was particularly interested in Planning Models so most of my research focused on Part 5 in the book
Excellent Book-I highly recommend it
