Core Concepts in Health is a market-leading resource focused on helping students take responsibility for their health. Irwin/Insel is structured around four key goals: presenting scientifically based, up-to-date Canadian information in an accessible format; involving students in taking responsibility for their health and well-being; identifying the influence of and need for equity-based considerations in health and well-being; and instilling a sense of personal competence and drive to action among students. New to the Fourth Canadian Edition are collaborative updates from expert Canadian contributors, ensuring students have the most credible and current scientific knowledge. The Fourth Canadian Edition provides a greater focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion as it relates to health. Indigenous content has also been updated throughout. In addition, a new chapter on Sleep has been added, offering valuable information to students about sleep biology and the relationship between sleep and health. These exciting new updates provide relevancy to the content and empower students to be responsible for their health.
