About the Book

Social conditions and relationships have long been known to affect people's physical and mental health, but only recently has this knowledge been formulated into the "new public health movement". This book puts forward interdisciplinary accounts of different aspects of the movement from around the world. Health promotion, community health initiatives, and the factors affecting health which are beyond individual control, such as housing, poverty and unemployment, are all looked at in detail. The team then suggest ways forward for health promotion in the 1990s.
