AnnotationThis guide explores the benefits of introducing community development health programmes. Using a community-oriented primary care approach (COPC), the guide explains how to: use resources more effectively; set health goals and health programmes linked to local needs; identify those who most need health care; and support people's desire to take more responsibility for their own well-being. COPC aims to promote better health through the early identification of problems. Six case studies are featured, some of which involved older people. (KJ).
