The handbook covers core models of behaviour change and health promotion, then guides program effectiveness through evidence, infrastructure, and actionable approaches. It addresses key health topics including eating and nutrition, sexual health, alcohol and drug use, physical activity, tobacco dependence, depression management, insomnia interventions, gambling-related harms, and crash and injury prevention. It concludes with self-management for chronic illness and strategies for evidence-based research across diverse
