Health and wellbeing are resources that enable people to live, learn, play, work, flourish and thrive. Unfortunately, there are major disparities in peoples health status around the world. There is strong evidence that physical, mental, social and spiritual health and wellbeing are experienced unequally, and that most of those differences are unfair or inequitable. Addressing the factors that contribute to such inequities is the central challenge for health practitioners wanting to engage in critical health promotion in a comprehensive primary health care context.

This is a time of significant change internationally. Political instability and social uncertainty are the result of an erosion of public goods, persistent poverty, energy and food insecurity and, most recently, the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is a time of increasing awareness of the impact of globalised economic activities on the health and wellbeing of people and the social, cultural, economic, political and physical environments in which we live. There is deep concern about global climate change, ecological sustainability and the implications for human health and survival. The Sustainable Development Goals have set goals and targets in 17 areas, all of which impact on the health and wellbeing of people around the world, and while there has been good progress towards these, many are not on track to be achieved by 2030. As such, there has never been a greater need for critical health promotion.

Taking action on the socio-ecological determinants of health to enhance health and reduce health inequities is the basis for critical health promotion practice in a comprehensive primary health care context. The concepts and skills presented in this updated edition of Promoting Health: The Primary Health Care Approach provide an essential resource for such practice.

of the book focuses on one part of the framework. Throughout the book, current policy and practice initiatives have been updated. The use of health promotion theories and models has been strengthened, and new examples from practice have been introduced in the book and on the Evolve website.

The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion continues to provide a relevant and useful framework for improving health. At the start of Chapters 3 to 9, there are questions for the health practitioner to consider in relation to each action area of the Ottawa Charter. At the end of each chapter, the relevant International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) Core Competencies for Health Promotion are identified. Each chapter also presents reflective questions that may be used to prompt personal reflection or to guide group exploration.

We hope that Promoting Health: The Primary Health Care Approach (7th ed.) engages health practitioners from a broad range of disciplines and supports them in their critical health promotion practice in a comprehensive primary health care context to achieve better health and wellbeing outcomes for all.

This seventh edition of Promoting Health affirms the use of critical health promotion within a comprehensive primary health care context, to address health and wellbeing priorities in all settings from the local through to the global. The philosophy underpinning comprehensive primary health care (CPHC) remains as relevant now as it was when first endorsed by the World Health Organization in 1978 and expressed within the Declaration of Alma-Ata.
