As a public health nursing instructor I have used this book (well the two previous versions) for several years. It provides the best and most complete example of how to "do public health" from a community-focused perspective. It also includes rationale and examples. This provides students with a blue print and how-to manual while also showing the process with a real life community example.
This book is a complete PH text as it also covers all the other usual components of a PH nursing and PH practice. This text is for students, practicing public health nurses, and anyone working with communities to change health and well-being.
What I also love about this book (and what sets it apart from other text books) is that it is community-focused and teaches impact health and well-being from that perspective. Therefore the content is useful for a broad audience.
This text will not teach you to be a "community-based" practitioner (provider). The authors really get it!

To be honest, this book was somewhat of a disappointment. As a public health practitioner and registered nurse, it leaves something to be desired. I'm not sure if the author intended to leave out some critically important information due to recent changes in the direction of practice due to federal, state and local budget cuts, or if she ignored the essentials of earlier works for other reasons. Personally, I find Stanhope and Lancaster's "Foundations of Community Health Nursing" to be a far more valuable resource, even though it is significantly older. I hope to see a change in the future of public health nursing practice (as well as the text and instructional materials needed for this discipline) that takes it back to - or at least integrates - the concepts of its foundational core with the needs of today and tomorrow. Much work needs to be done in the public spectrum that requires integrating community health nursing with environmental and epidemiological principles - at more than a superficial level - and understanding the essential relationships of public health policy, advocacy, and the nurse's role in producing change. This piece is simply inadequate to prepare nurses for the task.
