"Community Health Promotion Ideas That Work helps me meet the goal of the course by presenting practical situations and scenarios related to the concepts covered in the course lecture.

The writing style is appropriate and the students have commented that the book is very “user-friendly.”

The greatest strength of this book is the way that it presents concepts, which are new to students, in a very understandable and accessible way.  Sometimes when a student is first learning about various concepts related to program planning, it is difficult for that student to understand how these concepts are actually applied in practice.  The book does an excellent job of giving students insight into the practical application of various concepts."
