Health Program Planning An Educational & Ecological Approach 4th Ed. New 2005

Description: The periods between successive editions of this book have given us rich opportunities to field test and critique our ideas and learn of their strengths and limitations with the changing circumstances of planners. It has been each time a stimulating and rewarding challenge to fine tune both the causal logic and procedural details of the Precede-Proceed Model, guided by (1) advancements and innovations reported in the literature, (2) constructive feedback from university professors, students, and researchers, and (3) reports from practitioners, managers and planners applying the model in the field. The first edition (1980) was inspired by the first applications of the model used to guide cost-benefit evaluations of health education,' and by our teaching applications and randomized-controlled trials testing the model in clinical and community settings. Conceptually, the model was grounded on research and demonstration findings from health services research, family planning, 4 and immunization programs, and on well-established theories applicable to change processes in chronic diseases and health behavior. The first edition presented the framework as a planning and evaluation logic model and procedural model for health education programs in various settings, and it coined the acronym PRECEDE (for predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in educational diagnosis and evaluation).? The second edition more than a decade later followed on a period in which we had separate but overlapping opportunities to apply the model in our work with state, federal, and international agencies in health policy and program planning, implementation, and evaluation. Its application was expanded from PRECEDE to PROCEED with the addition of the policy, regulatory, and organi-naton comstics i edicational and environmental development, which took The third edition strengthened the ecological approach reflected in the social-environmental aspects that were increasingly relevant to the emerging infectious diseases and problems of lifestyle and social conditions surrounding the development of chronic diseases? As we now approach the fourth edition in a new century, we find that the 950 published applications of the Precede-Proceed Model increasingly have ranged beyond what many of its users think of as health education or even health promotion. The model has found increasing application in public health, community health, and population health planning
