Availability of Report on Health Promotion
"Health Promotion in the City," a report prepared for CDC, is
a review of current practice and recommendations for new directions
to improve the health of urban populations. The report describes
social and economic factors that have influenced the health of
urban populations during the previous 40 years, assesses the extent
to which existing interventions address major causes of ill health,
and explores new sources for theory and practice for urban health
promotion. The report suggests specific actions that community
leaders and organizations, local and state health departments,
public health officials, federal agencies, foundations, and
universities can take to strengthen health promotion practices in
urban communities in the United States.
Copies of this report are available from CDC's Division of

Prevention and Health Promotion, 4770 Buford Highway, N.E.,
