To my knowledge, my mentor still has THE ONLY research methods book that is designed with a health education/general health science emphasis. It is a very practical, easy-to-read and follow book, with lots of health education/promotion case studies and examples. Appropriate for both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I used it when I taught Research Methods, as did the last university where I taught. Students love the book and cite it often in their papers. It's one of the books they do not sell back. Recommend it very highly!

I stand corrected, thanks to Larry Olsen. There IS another HED-focused research methods book, which I forgot about (sorry Randy - smile!).
Thanks, Larry!

Subject: Lack of participation in HEDIR Blog discussions
Possibly it is that HEDIR subscribers and other health educators are busy with holiday activities. Possibly it is that all are in a spirit of good will and choose not to enter dialog that may be controversial. Or, maybe, health educators are focused on the dire economic situation. In any case, there are less than 10 contributors to the discussion on HEDIR Blog, and five of these are the blog posters.
I have posted blogs that I had anticipated would stimulate vigorous discussion. The challenge of restoring the Health Education Hall of Fame to active status should have drawn some comments. To this point, it has not received a single comment. Hopefully, the blog I posted today about thick skinned posters versus thin skinned posters will draw some reactions.
In spite of my disappointment about the reactions to the blogs, I wish all happy holidays and that 2009 will be the best year yet for all of you.

Bill,
I have also wondered about the lack of postings to the blog. Time is likely an issue; however, I wonder if another issue might be understanding blog technology and how to use it. I am a fairly technology-forward person, but even until a few months ago I did not really understand blogs, read blogs, or even know how to comment on a blog. I especially did not know how to subscribe to a blog or use a blog reader, etc. Perhaps there is a digital divide that needs to be crossed.

Dr. Nowak, I, too, share the same story about blogging and I do feel that it may be why a lot have not posted or responded to anything. Although I now know how to blog, I openly shared my lack of knowledge with one of health educators who is a media techie (hint, hint Meredith) and look forward to learning a few things from her about blogs, etc. Our most recent health education conference in SC was on how we can use technology to communicate health; it was called, "Technohealth: Communicating Health Education". I also think that some feel that they would just like to respond and post to the main HEDIR and not to both the blog and here. Maybe a sample link for others to go to and "practice" blogging...not sure of an answer, but worth a try.
