that predispose, enable, and reinforce individual and collective actions in relation to these determinants. Research projects
include policy analyses, epidemiological study of social and behavioural causes of health and disease or injury, design and
evaluation of innovative approaches to bring about change in these factors, and studies of the implementation and diffusion
of these innovations by policy makers, institutions, agencies, communities, practitioners, and populations.

tasks necessary for community health and development. For instance, there are sections on leadership, strategic planning,
community assessment, advocacy, grant writing, and evaluation to give just a few examples. Each section includes a
description of the task, advantages of doing it, step-by-step guidelines, examples, checklists of points to review,
and training materials.
