    (apologies if cross-posted . . .)

    The following publications may be of interest to teachers and practitioners in public health, health education, and health promotion:

    Research Methods in Health Promotion (Richard A. Crosby, Ralph J. DiClemente, Laura F. Salazar, editors, ISBN: 978-0-7879-7679-8, 472 pages) is a straightforward introduction for students and practitioners to research design, implementation, analysis, and interpretation in the field of health promotion. (Note: Chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides are available to instructors.)

    Tools for Teaching Health (Shannon Whalen, Dominick Splendorio, Sal Chiariello, ISBN: 978-0-7879-9407-5, 320 pages) is a comprehensive set of classroom-tested, ready to use activities and lessons developed and written by highly experienced health educators. For educators, practitioners, or those in professional preparation programs, the book is rich with proven activities that are hands-on, student-centered, interactive, and centered on key risk areas identified by the Centers for Disease Control  and Prevention (Note: activities and lessons are reproducible for classroom use.)
