This volume seeks to provide a critical review of the late-1990s state of health promotion research. It maps out key debates and draws out major themes in order to demonstrate the benefits of re-conceptualizing the field of health promotion as collaborative and integrating, rather than as a battlefield for disciplinary and intellectual clashes. By seeking to make a significant contribution to ongoing epistemological, theoretical and methodological debates in health promotion research, this book should enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of health promotion policy and practice. With contributors from Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Ireland, the UK and the US, this text draws upon international research and should be of interest to students and professionals working in Health Promotion, Public Health, the medical profession and policy makers.
