520 |a "The first edition of Essentials of Health Behavior: Social and Behavioral Theory in Public Health, was published in 2007. It has been sold and used widely. It was then revised in 2014 to add updated material and a chapter on multi-level theories. Since the 2nd Edition, health promotion theory has continued to evolve, and new circumstances have arisen that need to be addressed, including rapidly evolving social media, increased population diversity (globally), and rapid epidemics such as Ebola. The current edition needs to be augmented with these newer developments, in order to keep the book useful and current"--  |c Provided by publisher.
