First sentence: The World Health Organization (http://www.who.int.htm) provides a longstanding definition of health as the "state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (World Health Organization 1948, p. 100).
Description: "This resource shows how to effectively organize, implement, and evaluate health programs and projects.
