Creating Health Behavior Change: How to Develop Community-Wide Programs for Youth

In Creating Health Behavior Change, author Cheryl L. Perry provides a hands-on process for the development of effective community-wide health behavior programs for children and adolescents. Significant behavior change among young people across a variety of behaviors and community-based research studies has been achieved through programs that have been created based on this ten-step process.

The intent, then, of Creating Health Behavior Change is to provide steps for developing programs that will lead to meaningful change in improving the health behaviors of young people in our communities, in the broader context of improving physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being.
