Building better health: a handbook for behavioral change

The handbook, meant for health workers, community health promoters, nurses and family physicians as well as social workers and teachers, provides step-by-step instruction in behavioural change techniques to use at the society, community, family, and individual levels to promote health and prevent disease. A chapter on "Adolescents and Young Adults 15-24 Years Old" reviews the major forms of mortality and morbidity for ages 15-24 years as well as the psychosocial causes of the most common diagnoses and essential rational-emotional learnings, as a way to lay the foundation for good health both currently and later in life.
