I am currently reading this text for a graduate level course. It takes you from beginning to end in planning a community health program. The level of detail in this book leaves absolutely nothing in question. Each of the chapters takes you through one step of the Precede-Proceed Approach and uses effective examples from different case studies. This book truly shows the depth required to effectively plan and implement health programs in the community. Although it is an extremely useful book, the material (like most textbooks) is extremely dry. I find myself having to read and re-read many of the sections to get a good understanding of the material. Not because it is overly difficult, but unfortunately because of the way it is written. There is so much information in each chapter that it can be difficult to pick out the most important points. Overall, this is a very useful tool, but can definitely be overwhelming.

Great book, great ordering experience. If you are in health program planning, this book is a must for Preceed-Proceed.

Despite being incredibly overpriced, the quality of the hardcover and paper is very nice. Helpful information for intervention program planning.
