Da die gesundheitliche Aufklärung im Interesse staatlicher Gesundheitspolitik liegt, wird sie in Deutschland als eine übergreifende Daueraufgabe von allen staatlichen Ebenen unter Einbindung der Betroffenen durchgeführt. Die Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) nimmt hierbei auf Bundesebene als Fachbehörde im Geschäftsbereich des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit diese Aufgabe wahr. Die deutsche Ausgabe des Werkes wird von der BZgA herausgeben. In diesem Rahmen wurden die Inhalte nicht nur übersetzt sondern auch von Experten geprüft und an sinnvoller Stelle für eine deutsche Zielgruppe adaptiert oder sinnvoll ergänzt. In dem erfolgreichen Lehrbuch zur Gesundheitsförderung werden die Grundlagen und Konzepte zur Gesundheit, Gesundheitserziehung und Gesundheitsförderung sowie die ethischen und politischen Aspekte für die Praxis in leicht verständlicher Form erläutert. - Welche Strategien zur Gesundheitsförderung gibt es und wie können konkrete Maßnahmen und Interventionen z.B. in Krankenhäusern, Kommunen oder Schulen umgesetzt werden. - Ausführliche Fallbeispiele helfen dem Leser, die ganze Bandbreite der Gesundheitsförderung kennenzulernen und die Evidenz für unterschiedliche Gesundheitsförderungen zu identifizieren. - Zahlreiche Lernübungen (Lösungsansätze an Kapitelende) helfen, Fragenstellungen besser zu verstehen und das eigene Wissen zu überprüfen.
