Laverack’s “ new definition of health promotion”
“Health promotion is a set of principles (e.g. equity, compassion) centred around the concept of empowerment to enable people to take more control over the determinants of their lives and health. Health promotion practice encompasses a range of communication, capacity-building and politically orientated approaches to help their clients (individuals, groups, organisations and communities) to gain more power (control) over decisions and resources regarding their health”.                                                                                                                                     Health promotion Laverack G. 2007 Health Promotion Practice Building Empowered Communities" page 6 (box 1.2) ISBN: 033 522057-b.:
