Written by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers, Teaching Strategies for Health Education and Health Promotion helps us understand how people of all ages learn about their health. The book also explains how healthcare professionals can positively affect patients, families, and diverse communities and their ability to understand, prevent and manage their illness. Designed to give health professionals the tools they need to provide total patient care, this distinctive resource presents a foundation as well as offers a selection of tools and teaching methodologies for promotion of health and prevention of illness. Unique to this resource are experience-driven case studies that demonstrate both successful and unsuccessful cases, in order to help healthcare professionals identify best practices to preserve and repeat, as well as analyze why unsuccessful efforts might have failed and how those cases could be handled differently.
