by Elizabeth T. Anderson, Judith M. McFarlane

This is the Canadian edition of the Community as Partner text. Using a variety of Canadian references, this text provides the framework to conduct a community assessment and work with the community to develop health-promoting programs. It has a practical focus on community assessment, data analysis, community-level issue identification, program planning, intervention, and evaluation. Unit One now provides a completely Canadian perspective on health promotion, epidemiology, health risks, public policy, and multicultural communities. Unit Two reflects the community as partner model with a Canadian approach, and Unit Three contains case studies with Canadian examples. Each chapter will include specific learning objectives, key points, practice and research sections, and discussion questions. Available Canadian Connection Website, connection.LWW.com/go/vollman.
