Real stories, real solutions—a unique textbook that embeds definitions and descriptions of program planning principles within the story of one town grappling with the opioid crisis

The book uses narratives in a creative and engaging way, weaving together the real-life accounts of over 100 public health practitioners.

As you follow the saga of the town, you will see program planning principles in action. Through the intricacies of substance use and opioid-related challenges, this book sheds light on the interconnected efforts of diverse programs, including needs assessment, health education curriculum, health communication campaigns, environmental change strategies, peer support initiatives, and community organizing.

Students and practitioners will uncover the principles and processes of building health promotion programs. Discussion questions and activities at the end of each chapter stimulate reflection and exploration, offering a valuable resource for instructors and individual learners.

Health Promotion Planning is a powerful glimpse into public health practice, inspiring future generations to take up the mantle in addressing societal challenges. Learners will witness health promotion in action as they follow the compelling stories inside—where lessons are learned, lives are changed, and hope emerges from the frontlines of a devastating epidemic.
