In this update of the 2004 edition, Gilmore (community health, U. of Wisconsin-La Crosse) presents a logic model approach to needs and community capacity assessment of the determinants of health and health promotion. The text includes applications of the model, chapter-length case studies, online resources, and access to a companion website. Also featured is a sample form for a needs stimulation game, and information on the Healthstyle self-test; technology-supported health risk and wellness appraisals; the La Crosse Wellness Project's Development Process; early detection tips and tools; and methods of community risk estimation. The text concludes with a discussion of the reinvention of health promotion through deconstruction and metaphor. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
