English Summary/英文概要： Activism is action on behalf of a cause, action that goes beyond what is conventional or routine and is relative to the actions by others.
Health activism is a growing area of interest for many who work to improve health at both national and international levels because it offers a more direct approach to achieve lasting social and political change. This book, for the first time, provides a clear foundation to the theory, evidence-base and strategies that can be harnessed to bring about change to improve the lives and health of others.
For anyone working to improve the health of groups and communities, this will be thought-provoking reading. It has particular relevance for postgraduate students and practitioners in public health and health promotion.

在《健康行动主义：基础和策略》中，格伦•莱夫拉克提供了关于健康行动的“为什么”和“如何”的指南。他将行动定义为“代表了某一原因，并超越了常规惯例的行动”。莱夫拉克就行动主义如何在公共卫生政策和实践中发挥作用提供了一个有说服力的案例。莱夫拉克警告说，个人主义的推广，公共服务私有化，以及团结政策下的降会破坏社会的进程，不利于解决健康领域的社会不公，他同时也警告了不够开放的政治环境的冲突。然而，他也指出了反对的趋势。——柳叶刀

In Health Activism: Foundations and Strategies, Glenn Laverack provides both a “why to” and “how to” guide to health activism. He defines activism as an “action on behalf of a cause, action that goes beyond what is conventional or routine”. Laverack makes a persuasive case for how activism has a role in public health policy and practice. Laverack cautions that the promotion of individualism, privatisation of public services, and a decline in solidarity policies can undermine social processes that address social injustice in health, and he warns of conflict in less open political contexts. However, he also points to opposing trends.
