Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book reviews the strategies for the development of sustainable health promotion practices, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with case examples from the COVID-19 pandemic.Beginning with a historical survey of the global agenda of health promotion over the past decades, the book analyses the evolving standards, goals and strategies of health promotion as well as the challenges encountered in implementing health promotion practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both social and environmental determinants of population health are examined here. Contributors have assessed socio-economic inequalities present in health promotion practices and highlighted the need for balance between economic development and financial sustainability in health services and educational programming. A framework for improved lifelong population health for all is also suggested.This review of social, economic, environmental, and ecological contexts in health promotion will be of interest to policymakers, academics, and practitioners. In particular, scholars of health policy and health promotion, as well as public administration and development studies, will find this a useful volume.
