Behavioural Change

An evidence -based handbook for social and public health

Behavioural Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is known about our ability to change behaviour of people across a wide range of domains including sexual behaviour, drug and alcohol use, depression, smoking, gambling, eating and nutrition, physical activity and exercise, crash and injury prevention and self management of chronic illness.

Behavioural Change reviews the evidence supporting these issues and provides original insights into how effective and sustainable intervention programs may be designed and delivered to address them. The emphasis on linking research knowledge and its translation into effective programs is very useful for practitioners and students. This book will be of interest to all those involved with the design of health promotion and behaviour change interventions across the health and human services.
