5.0 out of 5 stars
everything for anyone interested in ecological models of health,
By Abe Lincoln "Abe Lincoln" (Deep in the heart of Ethiopia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Community Psychology (Hardcover)
This is a great collection. I'm about 150 pages into it and am already planning.to use some of the concepts in an upcoming project. Lots of practical examples and conceptual frameworks that would readily translate into study protocols. I intend to read this cover-to-cover.
