N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; Introduction : a grammar of public health behavior -- Primer on emergent collective behavior : tolerance and segregation -- The infection-protection game and the evolution of cooperation -- Public health behavior as conditional interaction in evolutionary games -- Thresholds, meta-stability, and behavioral avalanches -- Networks of conditional-interaction -- Balancing short-term and long-term reward : temporal interaction evaluation (TIE) -- Sensitivity through diversity -- Health intention and need satisfaction in a dynamic world -- Interaction logic modeling for planning -- Global-local dilemmas, meta-balancing and public health
N2  - This graduate text is the first to present methods for modeling health behavior dynamics, using numerous online interactive simulations, downloadable programs, and examples of applications to planning interventions. The book examines behaviors that range from simple individual health protective actions to complex cooperative public health actions. It provides a user-friendly and effective method for teaching systems thinking, a core competency now required by the Association of Schools of Public Health
