The subject of how best to address the current and future health needs of this country's urban marginalized comunities is one that has also received considerable attention in academic, policy, and practice arenas in the past decade. A variety of models have been put forth to achieve the goal of health in these communities. One of the most promising recommendations has been the use of health promotion as a vehicle for reaching and empowering communities of color in both rural and urban America. The youth-led environmental justice movement, as it will be addressed in various sections of this book, is one of the latest and most promising approaches towards health promotion that is grass-roots and community participatory based. Youth-led health promotion represents an emerging field with tremendous implications for addressing the health needs of marginalized urban youth of color in the United States.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 239mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 553gAuthor: Melvin Delgado, Huiquan ZhouGenre: MedicineRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
