planning, organizing and implementing health promotion. The concept of 'setting' is
fundamental to theory and practice in health promotion. Most health promotion activity is
bounded in space and time within settings that provide the context in which interventions
are planned, implemented, and evaluated. Settings also frame the context within which
health is influenced, so that the setting itself becomes a target of intervention.
Internationally renowned contributing authors from the United States, Canada, Europe, the
United Kingdom, and New Zealand describe the state of the art in the theory and practice
of health promotion in settings such as the home, school, workplace, community, and the
(local and nation) state; and offer insightful commentaries on each other's work. CONTENTS
