Health Promotion Handbook
Health Promotion Handbook by Sherri Sheinfeld Gorin and Joan Arnold is a practice-driven guide to promoting the health of individuals, families, groups, and communities. Part One of the Handbook explains the context of health promotion and offers a new and unique theoretical approach to health promotion - the Health Promotion Matrix - that fully integrates all aspects of clinical practice. Part Two applies the Health Promotion Matrix to the nine most important behaviors that contribute to the health of clients. Realistic, step-by-step scripts are provided to guide health care professionals as they interact with clients to promote healthy behaviors. Part Three looks at the economic and political aspects of health promotion, including the growth of managed care, and discusses the critical issues affecting the future of health promotion.
Health Promotion in Practice
Health Promotion in Practice is a practice-driven text that translates theories of health promotion into a step-by-step clinical approach for engaging with clients. The book covers the theoretical frameworks of health promotion, clinical approaches to the eleven healthy behaviors—eating well, physical activity, sexual health, oral health, smoking cessation, substance safety, injury prevention, violence prevention, disaster preparedness, organizational wellness, and enhancing development—as well as critical factors shaping the present and the future of the field. Written by the leading practitioners and researchers in the field of health promotion, Health Promotion in Practice is a key te...

Creating a Lifestyle Medicine Center
Building on the groundbreaking work Lifestyle Medicine (2016), this unique new book bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing detailed information on the real-world development and creation of a Lifestyle Medicine Center, whether independently or as part of an established medical program or department. Part one sets the stage by establishing the rationale for creating a Lifestyle Medicine Center as well as the medical and economic burden it seeks to alleviate. The construction of the physical facility and all of the myriad details of the program and its key players are covered in part two, from the structural to the aesthetic, including informatics, developing patient resource...
Applying an Implementation Science Approach to Genomic Medicine
Although it is becoming increasingly more common for clinicians to use genomic data in their practices for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, the process of integrating genomic data into the practice of medicine has been a slow and challenging one. Some of the major barriers impeding the incorporation of new genomic technology into clinical practice are: the difficulty of changing routine medical practices to account for the use of genetic testing, the limited knowledge of patients and providers about genomic medicine, assessing sufficient evidence to support the use of genetic tests, privacy and data security issues, and uncertainty about reimbursement. The field of implementatio...
The Encyclopedia of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting up to 80 percent of all individuals with any form of dementia in the United States. An estimated 5.8 million people in the United States had Alzheimer's disease in 2020, and this number is projected to grow considerably with the aging of the large group of the Baby Boomers, born in the years 1946-1964. According to the Alzheimer's Association, by 2025, there will be 7.1 million Americans with Alzheimer's, a 22 percent increase from 2020. After diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease, the average person lives up to 8 more years, although some die sooner or much later. Non-Alzheimer's dementia is also a huge and growing problem in t...
Application of Quantum Dots in Biology and Medicine
This book illustrates various applications of quantum dots (QDs) in the biomedical field and future perspectives. It first introduces the synthesis procedures and fundamental properties of QDs. In addition, the optical detection techniques and toxicologic reviews of QDs are presented. A focus of the book is also on the applications of QDs in cancer therapy, drug delivery, bio-sensing, and targeted molecular therapy. This book is exciting and valuable to a wide variety of readership communities (students, early-stage researchers, and scientists) in the various fields of biology and medicine.
Advances in Cancer Control
This comprehensive volume presents a cross-section of reports from a variety of areas of cancer detection and treatment research. By focusing on the results of community-based prevention and control intervention programs, it examines a number of paradigms that community hospitals have developed for clinical research programs using the diverse skills of oncologists, nurses, and social workers. Highly detailed and practical, this work addresses the issues of basic biochemistry and molecular oncology as they relate to possible cancer prevention and intervention programs. Specific research data is provided on quitting smoking, chemoprevention and diet, breast cancer and bowel cancer screening, and cancer research and oncology practices in the community.
