DESCRIPTION:
In the public health realm, target groups have been asked to assist in the design and implementation of initiatives for health. In this innovative work, the author contrasts public and professional understandings of health and the best ways to achieve health. Medicine has pursued patient participation in clinical decision-making. The book is unique due to its policy-applicable, quantitative studies and its theoretical analysis of works by René Dubos and Aaron Antonovsky. It will be of value to professionals in health promotion, health education, medical anthropology, and social epidemiology.. For decades, health professionals have asserted the importance of public participation in interventions for health. In practice, however, patients and populations expect health professionals to give advice and - in some cases - to make decisions on their behalf. The result is a model of lay participation in the structuring of medical and public health activity. This implies limits to the ideal of participation
