A new way of thinking about prevention that focuses on building assets and resources This book provides practitioners and researchers with the means to make more impactful choices in the design and implementation of prevention programs. Drawing from state-of-the-art research on a range of behavior problems such as violence, drug abuse, suicide, and risky sexual activity, Victoria Banyard and Sherry Hamby present a strengths-based approach to prevention. Historically, most prevention efforts have focused too much on admonishment and knowledge transfer, despite years of evidence that such programs are ineffective. Effective prevention must be grounded in a broad understanding of what works, what does not, and how different forms of risky behavior share common elements. This book synthesizes research on behavior change from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, public health, sociology, criminology, resilience science, critical race theory, and even urban planning. It emphasizes the importance of building enough protective strengths to insulate people from risks.

Dr Rosy Daniel, former medical director of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, has written a comprehensive book on the holistic approach to the prevention of cancer, which is factual, upbeat and completely practical. She describes exactly what cancer is, who is at risk and why prevention and not treatment is the only real solution to the war on cancer. She then guides the reader step by step through removing the risk factors from their lives and she goes on to describe how to work to achieve positive health through the eradication of stress and the use of energy medicines, healthy eating, self-help approaches and exercise, and stresses the crucial importance of the state of mind and spirit on the body. Dr Daniel asserts that it is vital that all those wishing to prevent cancer learn from the examples of those who have had it, and act now to get their lives fully back on track, in order to revive their defence mechanisms and prevent this awful disease. By taking a hard look at the causes of cancer one is left in no doubt whatsoever as to why and how cancer has reached such horrendous epidemic proportions, affecting four in ten of us in our lifetime. This is a highly positive book which will provoke a great deal of thought and highly constructive action in all who read it.

HIV/AIDS continues to be the pandemic of our times and there has not been a comprehensive medically based AIDS prevention book published in the last 5 years. It is estimated that 36 to 45 million people including 2-3 million children already are infected worldwide and an additional 4-7 million more are infected each year. There are about 6,000 new infections daily and about 12 million AIDS orphans. People receiving AIDS treatments feel well and have no detectable viral load, but still can infect others. And even when a vaccine is found, it will take many years before it can be administered across the developing world. Discusses all aspects of AIDS prevention, from epidemiology, molecular immunology and virology to the principles of broad-based public health prevention interventions Special focus on the array of interventions that have been proven effective through rigorous study Identifies new trends in HIV/AID epidemiology and their impact on creating and implementing prevention interventions Incorporates virology, biology, infectious diseases, vaccinology, microbicides and research methodologies into AIDS prevention

Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease, Fourth Edition, is a compilation of current knowledge in clinical nutrition and an overview of the rationale and science base of its application to practice in the prevention and treatment of disease. In its fourth edition, this text continues the tradition of incorporating new discoveries and methods related to this important area of research Generating and analyzing data that summarize dietary intake and its association with disease are valuable tasks in treating disease and developing disease prevention strategies. Well-founded medical nutrition therapies can minimize disease development and related complications. Providing scientifically sound, creative, and effective nutrition interventions is both challenging and rewarding. Two new chapters on metabolomics and translational research, which have come to be used in nutrition research in recent years. The new areas of study are discussed with the perspective that the application of the scientific method is by definition an evolutionary process. A new chapter on Genetics and Diabetes which reviews the latest research on causal genetic variants and biological mechanisms responsible for the disease, and explores potential interactions with environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle. Includes all major "omics" – the exposome, metabolomics, genomics, and the gut microbiome. Expands the microbiota portions to reflect complexity of diet on gut microbial ecology, metabolism and health
