Health: The BasicsDesigned for Introduction to Health, Personal Health, and Wellness courses offered in most Health and/or Physical Education departments. This Canadian adaptation of a successful Health text emphasizes the essential health information necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of health promotion and disease prevention. Like Access to Health, this text is presented from a behavioural management perspective, providing students with the practical means of assessing and managing their health behaviours. Basics maintains its thorough examination of health care in Canada and the threat of growing violence, and continues such cutting-edge approaches with the inclusion of more gender issues, injury prevention, the role of community health, and prevention strategies. |
