Environmental Health Behavior 1st Edition

Environmental Health Behavior (1st Edition) by Ana Virgolino, Osvaldo Santos, and Ricardo R. Santos is an essential, contemporary guide for anyone working at the intersection of environmental science and public health. This readable yet rigorous volume captures the science of human behavior in environmental contexts, translating evidence into practical strategies that protect communities and ecosystems.

You’ll find clear, research-driven explanations of how behaviors shape exposure to environmental risks and how targeted interventions can reduce disease, improve resilience, and promote sustainable practices. Designed for public health professionals, health educators, policy makers, and advanced students, the book balances theory with actionable tools—behavioral frameworks, risk communication techniques, and intervention design principles—that can be adapted across urban and rural settings.

Rich with real-world relevance, the text speaks to global and regional challenges—from urban pollution and water safety to climate-related health risks—making it especially useful to practitioners in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond. Its practical emphasis helps readers plan community programs, evaluate outcomes, and influence policy with measurable impact.

Whether preparing course materials, designing public health campaigns, or strengthening community resilience, readers will come away equipped to translate knowledge into change. Engage with a forward-thinking resource that bridges environmental science and human behavior to advance healthier, more sustainable communities.
