Of the many books we are tempted to feature here, we have disciplined ourselves to remain faithful the main purpose of this website to highlight those books and manuals that are most relevant and helpful in comprehending and using the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. We also seek to represent a sampling of those either addressing the whole model or focused on the applicability of predisposing factors, enabling factors, or reinforcing factors. The final selection includes those using varied pedagogic or illustrative methods of casting the program planning, implementation and evaluation processes in varied academic course, training or population-specific planning applications of the model.

This lively dialogue-driven series of conversational exchanges between practitioners and program planners or directors, or with community participants in their planning or program support efforts, illustrates the implementation of the planning processes including those of the Precede-Proceed model.
Community Health Promotion Ideas that Work is organized into seven chapters, each of which begins with a case story. Although fictional, the stories are based upon real experiences and include nuances of the human condition that are too often excluded from treatments of public health practice. The case stories offer readers a realistic frame of reference in which to consider the critical concepts, principles and theories that guide effective health promotion practice.
