People-Centred Public Health by Jane South
People-centred public health provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of policy, practice and research in how members of the public can be involved in delivering health improvement as volunteers or lay health workers, drawing on a major study of lay engagement in public health, and using case studies and real life examples.
"Acknowledging citizens are part of the solution, not the problem, could lead to a 21st century flourishing of Public Health as important as the first one in the 19th century" Trevor Hopkins, Asset Based Consulting & co-author of 'A glass half-full'
“Participation is essential to health promotion action and people have to be at the centre of decision-making processes for it to be effective. This book offers a valuable, critical and timely analysis as government policy develops on active citizenship.” Jane Wills, Professor of Health Promotion, London South Bank University

It offers a compelling guide to the policies, research and practice for anyone that is engaged in helping people and communities to become active citizens taking control of the factors that will radically improve their health."
