Asian Perspectives and Evidence on Health Promotion and Education

Health education is badly needed to combat emerging medical issues worldwide. While much of the empirical evidence demonstrating its efficacy is based on First-World data sets, this volume provides a regional perspective, with findings from Asian countries.

Globalization and information technology have caused many health problems: mental health issues like depression, and lifestyle-related disease like diabetes and obesity. To cope with these health issues, health promotion and education are desperately needed. Convincing policy decision makers to invest in health promotion and education programs, it is needed to show its effectiveness. Health promotion and education professionals are expected to construct evidence of health promotion and education. Most of such evidence has been produced in the US and European countries. Because socio-economic conditions differ between the Asia and Western countries, we cannot depend on such evidence to implement adequate health promotion and education in our region. We must produce and accumulate our own evidence based on Asian perspectives.

The first book that contains Asian ideas and activities on health promotion and education Readers in Asia will be able to derive evidence of health promotion and health education produced in Asia Readers in Western countries will be able to derive new ideas and concepts Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
