Promoting Health In Aotearoa New Zealand
Paperback Edition: 1
Promoting Health in Aotearoa New Zealand is the first comprehensive text on health promotion in New Zealand.
Primarily written for students, practitioners and policy makers in the health sector, it will be of interest also to those promoting health in Maori, Pacific Island and other NGOs (e.g. Tipu Ora, the Cancer Society, the Heart Foundation, and the AIDS Foundation) and to those in government agencies such as the Accident Compensation Corporation (in accident prevention) and the New Zealand Transport Agency (in road safety).
This book will also have wider relevance to an international audience, for example those concerned with promoting the health of indigenous peoples. Ultimately it will contribute to the improved quality of health promotion and public health process and outcomes, including reducing inequities.
The contributors come from a wide range of backgrounds and experience, offering different perspectives using a range of theories and approaches;
- Associate Professor Louise Signal is a director of the Health Promotion and Policy Research Unit at the University of Otago, Wellington.
- Dr Mihi Ratima (Whakatohea, Ngati Awa) is a director of Taumata Associates, a public health and Maori development consultancy.
