El propósito de este libro es aportar elementos a la reflexión sobre comunicación, educación y salud desde las ciencias humanas y sociales; Dicha reflexión resulta vital, ahora más que nunca, teniendo en cuenta la enorme expansión de medios de comunicación como la televisión o los basados en las tecnologías 2.0, que permiten que el acceso a los conocimientos sobre salud sea ubicuo. El origen del presente libro es el encuentro que se celebró, en septiembre de 2015, en la Escuela de Salud Pública de Menorca sobre «Educación, promoción de la salud y comunicación. Perspectivas desde la historia y las ciencias sociales». Los diferentes capítulos provienen de la labor de investigación de diversas disciplinas: Antropología Social, Communication Studies, Historia de la Educación e Historia de la Medicina, lo que permite tener una visión amplia y variada de los complejos factores que intervienen en los procesos de educación y comunicación sobre salud.

Cancer and chronic disease are a rapidly increasing global health burden : according to the Milken Institute, the annual cost to the national US economy of the seven most common chronic conditions will rise to $4.2 trillion by 2023. The data are just as dramatic in Canada, Europe, Australia, and increasingly, in countries in the developing world. As communities, governments, and health organizations worldwide struggle to avoid being swamped by health care costs - not to mention the impact of suffering and poor quality of life - the only long-term, sustainable hope must be based on prevention efforts. This book presents a promising new approach to educating, engaging, empowering, and generating action within communities as part of that broader prevention agenda. The authors review representative global experiences with community based prevention educators, focusing on the prevention coordination work that can be accomplished within geographical areas ranging from local communities to broader regions. Among the findings they reveal in this book are the fundamental elements of successful Community Based Prevention programs - skilled staff, high-quality evaluation, and sustained investment in prevention efforts.
