Help your students learn about health promotion from a Canadian lens with Edelman and Kudzma’s Canadian Health Promotion Throughout the Life Span. This all-new title grounds learners in the Canadian health objectives for promotion and prevention which are founded upon the Public Health Agency of Canada’s "Population Health Approach" — an approach that aims to improve the health of the entire population and to reduce health inequities among population groups. Among the chapters, students will find extensive coverage of growth and development throughout the life span which covers the normal aspects, unique problems, and health promotion needs that are found in each age and stage of development. Separate chapters discuss each population group — including the individual, the family, and the community — and highlight the unique aspects of caring for each of these groups. In all, this comprehensive text provides all the tools educators need to stay current on the latest research and trends in Canadian health promotion with an overall view on taking action and building communities.
