Praise for the Third Edition:

"This work will be one that students and clinicians keep on their shelves as the gold-standard reference for health behavior change. Summing up: Essential"

--Choice

Substantially revised to reflect current trends in the field of health behavior change, this new edition of the highly acclaimed "gold standard" text continues to provide a comprehensive overview of behavior change as it relates to public health. It has been extensively reorganized to eliminate redundancies in the earlier edition, and takes a broader, more pragmatic approach in its coverage of health behavior change.

New content includes chapters on lifestyle change and prevention and chronic disease management, with an intensive focus on specific behaviors (i.e. diet and nutrition, tobacco use) and chronic illness (i.e diabetes, heart disease). A new section on Community, System, and Provider Interventions to Support Health Behavior Change focuses on the efficacy of interventions implemented within various systems such as schools, workplaces, and health care systems. The fourth edition also provides learning objectives and discussion questions to facilitate use by course instructors in health psychology, behavioral medicine, and public health.

This multidisciplinary text has been authored and edited by highly esteemed practitioners, educators, and researchers who are experts in their specific areas of study. The majority of the text continues to be organized around the specific behaviors and chronic illnesses with the most significant public health impacts in terms of morbidity and mortality. Each chapter explains the significance of a particular problem and reviews the empirical evidence for the various intervention approaches.

New to the Fourth Edition: Extensively reorganized to eliminate redundancies Updated to encompass the most current research in health behavior change Includes new chapters on Alcohol, Stress and Mood Management, Diabetes, Obesity, The Workplace, Built Environment, and Behavior Data Focuses intensively on specific behaviors and chronic illnesses that significantly affect public health Includes a new section on Community, System, and Provider Interventions to Support Health Behavior Change Applicable to a wide variety of courses including public health, behavior change, preventive medicine, and health psychology Authored by leading researchers, educators, and practitioners with a multidisciplinary focus Includes learning objectives and discussion questions

Choice Review

This book offers a comprehensive, holistic, and in-depth look at the art and science of health behavior change. The fourth edition (3rd ed., CH, Jul'09, 46-6233) has been thoroughly updated and revised to reduce duplicate content; it is some 300 pages shorter than its predecessor and contains 24 chapters, divided into six sections. (The third edition contained 40 chapters divided into seven sections.) Chapters cover a myriad of health issues such as alcohol abuse, obesity, and chronic disease, focusing on behavior and lifestyle challenges and research-based intervention and management strategies. Each expertly prepared chapter begins with "Learning Objectives" to facilitate a meaningful educational experience. Perhaps one of the unique aspects of the book is the way the authors are able to connect epidemiological and environmental influences to management behaviors. The authors give timely consideration to health care system challenges and the need for a team-based approach to support interventions. Students and professionals will return to this valuable reference when seeking to unravel the complex, driving forces that shape health behavior and to understand the tools needed for health promotion. Truly, the book is a pleasure to read and a joy to recommend. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. S. W. Gustafson Elmira College
