Stamler & Yiu's Community Health Nursing: A Canadian Perspective has been written with the undergraduate student in mind and with supports embedded for professors and practice instructors across Canada. The work on this edition is in response to the needs expressed by faculty and students for a broad, comprehensive, and yet concise textbook providing an overview of community health nursing. As well it reflects trends in nursing generally and in community health nursing more specifically of the necessity to understand the social determinants of health inequity and to equip entry-level CHNs to address and understand these social forces. Each topic is written with the understanding that this will be the student's first foray into the community health nursing arena. We have chosen to incorporate the individual, family, community, system, and population as client perspectives throughout the text.
