This book articulates a clear four-phase framework for planning, creating, implementing, and evaluating multilevel community health promotion interventions that target individual, physical, and social environments. Each phase is described in thorough detail and accompanied by in-depth examples so that students and professionals understand how to apply the framework from beginning to end. Additional guidelines review how to adapt existing interventions to new contexts. Important underlying theoretical material, including theories of behavior change, are also reviewed.
Leslie Lytle has written a practical guide for how to plan theoretically sound, creative, and effective policies and interventions to promote healthy behaviors. Concrete examples take the reader through the various steps of the process. The book is systematic and engaging--highly recommended! --Knut-Inge Klepp, PhD, Executive Director, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway This is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and practitioners. The step-wise process for creating, implementing, and evaluating multilevel interventions is clearly described and easy to follow. Dr. Lytle' s decades long experience with designing and evaluating multilevel interventions is made evident through her practical guidance and applied intervention examples. --Jess Haines, PhD, MHSc, RD, Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
