| Summary |
"As with the previous edition, the central theme of this current text is the question of effectiveness and efficiency. It provides a more extensive discussion of the nature of evidence and its use in justifying claims that particular programmes have been successful. It also reflects the emerging recognition of the paramount importance of broad, social and environmental factors in determining health status and the associated need for sophisticated and complex 'horizontal' health promotion interventions - and the challenges these pose in designing valid evaluations." "The new edition of the text is presented in a more accessible style and provides an extensive and updated compendium of examples of programme evaluations."--BOOK JACKET |
