Description

Health Behavior Theory for Public Health: Principles, Foundations, and Applications, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive exploration of health behavior theory within the context of contemporary public health practice. Authored by Ralph J. DiClemente, Laura F. Salazar, and Richard A. Crosby, this text offers a balanced professional education that bridges the gap between theoretical tools and core public health practices.

Using an ecological approach, the book is organized into three distinct sections designed to guide the reader through the complexities of health promotion. The first section establishes a broad understanding of health, public health, and health behavior planning. The second section provides a straightforward and expansive examination of the most commonly applied theories and approaches used in research and programs. The final section focuses on the essential tasks of measurement, evaluation, and translation, offering a diverse set of application tools for the field.

The updated Second Edition includes several new features and expanded content:

  • New Chapter on Intervention Mapping: Examines the value of using multiple theories to address social inequalities and prevent disease.
  • New Chapter on Social Network Theory: Explores the fundamentals of network theory and the profound influence of social networks on health behaviors across the lifespan.
  • Field Applications: Includes contemporary examples such as the structural-level intervention of Citibike in New York City.
  • Enhanced Learning Tools: Features new photos, pull quotes, and box features designed to illustrate difficult concepts like evaluation and the diffusion of innovation.
