The "Ne Plus Ultra" for Learning About Health Behavior Theory by Miami of Ohio 5 Stars
August 07, 2008
Known at our school as the "purple book," Glanz/Rimer 3e remains the go-to introduction to theories and models in health behavior and health education. Many of the entries are by leading practitioners, researchers, and theorists in the field. Unless you have read through and studied this book, you simply are not educated in this topic.
