      Objectif gouvernemental s’inscrivant dans une politique de promotion de la santé, l’instauration du service sanitaire vise à former les futurs professionnels de santé à la prévention primaire. Grâce à la réalisation d’actions concrètes, la collaboration entre les différents intervenants œuvre à une prise de conscience précoce dans la formation du caractère nécessaire d’une approche collective de la prévention. Le service sanitaire s’inscrit en outre dans une perspective de lutte contre les inégalités territoriales et sociales en santé. Ce livre adopte une approche interdisciplinaire en santé publique afin de promouvoir une convergence des étudiants de différentes filières autour d’un projet commun. Chaque chapitre s’ouvre sur les objectifs pédagogiques établis, et conclut en reprenant les points clés du thème abordé quand cela est nécessaire. Cet ouvrage présente les aspects essentiels à considérer dans un projet visant la promotion de la santé et constitue un manuel de référence en santé publique en développant les bases théoriques et pratiques à mobiliser au cours du service sanitaire pour les étudiants en santé, récemment mis en place. Des liens Internet sous forme de flashcodes sont insérés au fil du texte pour des renvois à des sites utiles.
