The definitive guide to planning effective, theory and evidence driven, community engaged health promotion programs

Intervention Mapping: Health Promotion Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation is a practical, step-by-step guide for designing, implementing, evaluating, and sustaining effective health promotion interventions in partnership with communities. Widely regarded as the field’s leading planning resource, it provides a systematic framework for translating theory, evidence, and lived experience into real-world impact.

Through a structured series of tasks and decision points, readers learn to develop multilevel interventions that address behavior and environments driving population health outcomes. The fully updated Fifth Edition incorporates the latest advances in theory and research and includes a companion website with lecture slides and a test bank, making it ideal for both classroom use and professional practice.

In this book, you will learn how to:

• Engage community partners in planning and decision making
• Integrate multiple theories into cohesive interventions
• Adapt interventions using current frameworks and community-informed insights
• Use Intervention Mapping to guide evaluation, implementation, and long-term sustainment

As the field’s most trusted planning resource, Intervention Mapping: Health Promotion Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation equips readers to move from good intentions to effective, equitable, and sustainable action.
