The tour of North America on which this report is based gave health professionals from the UK an opportunity to study the ideas and practices of countries with different health care systems and an extensive experience of health promotion initiatives. The implications for this country contained in this book are impressive and will stimulate the growing debate on the role and directions of health promotion, particularly into areas such as health service planning, primary care, elderly people. community development and the media.
