Injury and Violence Prevention: Behavioral Science Theories, Methods, and Applications

Andrea Carlson Gielen,David A. Sleet,Ralph J. DiClemente

Description

Injury and Violence Prevention: Behavioral Science Theories, Methods, and Applications is a cutting-edge volume that provides a comprehensive understanding of injury and violence prevention. This detailed resource draws on the breadth and depth of many scientific disciplines and public health practice experiences. Written by internationally renowned experts in the field, Injury and Violence Prevention emphasizes the specific theories, methods, and applications that make behavioral science approaches relevant and central to reducing injury-related harm. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the most frequently used behavior change theories and models and shows how they have been¾or could be¾applied to injury problems, the most commonly used research methods for understanding and influencing behavior change, behavior change issues for specific injury topic areas, and a variety of cross-cutting issues important to the field.

Features

Author recognition: Andrea Gielen directs the best-funded, most well published center on injury prevention, based at the nation’s top school of public health. David Sleet, in his CDC role, is peerless in the respect he has earned as a behavioral science. Ralph DiClemente many research projects into risk reduction and injury prevention have earned him substantial followings throughout the public health and behavioral/psychological communities.
Leading edge: Using the most up-to-date CDC framework for designing injury prevention as a public health intervention, this book will be the first to bring behavior-change theories and methods to this area.
Practical: The book will explain and provide the underlying science and theories related to major types of inury (motor vehicle injuries, drowning), along with best practices/current knowledge about how to prevent these injuries; and the specific role of behavior and behavior change in their prevention.
The editors will include chapters on the most prominent behavioral theories used in public health as applied to injury prevention. (The list of theories/models includes the health belief model, stage-based models [transtheoretical, precaution adoption process], theory of reasoned action/theory of planned behavior, social learning theory/social cognitive theory, applied behavioral analysis, community level models, health communication and risk communication, and integrative models for practice [such as precede/proceed and the various ecological models].)
Brand name contributors: The editors are recruiting the top names in health promotion research as individual contributors, such as Carol Runyan (behaviorist at UNC/Chapel Hill), Nancy Thompson (behavioral epidemiologist at Emory/Rollins), and Katherine Miner (health promotion/behaviorist at Emory/Rollins).
