Synopsis

Family and Community Health: A Developmental Approach gives students an in-depth look at public health issues within the context of individual development and family systems. It presents major health issues afflicting Americans, as outlined by Healthy People 2030. The text covers basic information about health conditions, how they affect individuals across development, how they affect families and communities, and existing prevention and intervention programs.

The book provides students with information regarding asthma, obesity, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer, as well as their causes and possible treatments. This text discusses mental health, sleep health, anxiety and depressive disorder, substance abuse, and sexual and reproductive health. Each chapter ends with case studies for further examination.

The second edition features new perspectives from contributors pertaining to cancer, sexual health, and autism. Additionally, the text includes updated data and recommendations and new content on the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescent vaping, and strategies to stop sexual violence.

Family and Community Health is an excellent resource for undergraduate courses in public health, psychology, and human development.
