health problems and the development <strong>of</strong> health solutions<br />

• We must recognize that community-engaged health improvement is a long-<br />

term, evolving process<br />

Chapter 2 covers nine principles <strong>of</strong> community engagement that are grounded<br />

in the preceding literature Succeeding chapters develop practical applications<br />

and examples <strong>of</strong> the issues discussed in the first two chapters, specifically<br />

in the areas <strong>of</strong> planning and implementing CEnR and health promotion<br />

(Chapters 3 and 5), creating the management and organizational support<br />

necessary for community engagement (Chapter 4), using social networking<br />

for community engagement (Chapter 6), and evaluating community-engaged<br />

projects (Chapter 7)<br />
