Principles of Community Engagement, 3rd Edition
Posted by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on October 7, 2025
The Principles of Community Engagement, 3rd Edition, is our newest endeavor on the forefront of building strong science in community engagement. The third edition builds upon the previous two editions (1997, 2011). This edition incorporates the latest science and places a strong focus on communities disproportionately burdened by health and exposure risks. The communities—often those with lower income and of racial and ethnic minority groups—live and work in areas affected by environmental exposures and with limited resources. These conditions profoundly affect their physical, mental, environmental, and economic health.
We hope you find this book helpful. We welcome you to join us and our partners in our quest to make communities healthy, beautiful, strong, and resilient!
