Incorporating the latest guidelines from major organizations, including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, this book offers the clinician a complete overview of how to help patients adopt healthy behaviors and to deliver recommended screening tests and immunizations. Chapters provide practical guidance on how to counsel patients about exercise, nutrition, tobacco use, substance use, sexually transmitted infections, and depression. Written by clinicians for clinicians, the book lays out the details on gathering information from the patient, ordering evidence-based screening tests, designing a personalized health maintenance plan, facilitating behavior change, and the work-up of abnormal results from screening tests. It also explains how to organize the practice and clinic to deliver quality preventive care and to obtain reimbursement. This new edition includes updated chapters on practice redesign, the use of electronic medical records, and reimbursement; updated patient resource materials and instructions; and new authors with deep expertise on the topics. Plus, with this second edition there is a companion Website (www.healthpromodisprev.com) that features fully searchable text online so you'll have a fast, flexible multimedia library at your service.

I like how this book is arranged. It uses language that makes sense...that isn't quite what I want to say. It isn't a simple book rather it uses language that makes it easy to read the chapter without wanting to throw it across the room or fall asleep!
I bought this text on Kindle because I needed it for class. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the Kindle edition didn't have page numbers- so now I have veritably wasted money because I still need to reference a print book to get landmarks on what pages my professors want me to read. Upon looking this up under the Help section for Kindle, I found that there's a way to tell if there are page numbers on the page, but no one told me about this caveat when I bought it. This has been a truly detrimental experience to my usage of Kindle products and I'm very disappointed with and Lippincott for not being more proactive about a product that is a classic example of a textbook- and thereby will need page numbers.
Since starting my class, this book has been a much needed source of information. Easy to read and provides food for thought
This book was extremely disappointing to me because it has missed so much of what health promotion could be and do in clinical settings. Despite defining health promotion in terms of community early in the book (although it completely misses the Ottawa Charter), there is almost no understanding of how hospitals can play a role in developing community health. The focus of the chapters is far more on providing patient education - which is not really health promotion at all.
It's a textbook for a class so it's required reading. It appears to be update and informative and gives valid information needed for class.
I needed a book for Health promotion and this provides the information in a concise manner.
Feels very long and drawn out while reading but has good information.
Excellent
