Description

Health and Wellbeing is a key area where we can successfully implement behaviour change. This module will examine behaviour change interventions in health and wellbeing at individual, community, organisation and population levels in a variety of different contexts using diverse methods. Students will learn about key principles, theories and methods in the field of behaviour change related to health and wellbeing.

The course will develop students’ ability to critically appraise evidence in behaviour change and provide a foundation for developing health and wellbeing-related behaviour change interventions. Topics covered may include smoking behaviours, alcohol consumption, professional health behaviours, physical activity, eating behaviours, digital health, mental health and wellbeing, and the environment. Lectures will be delivered by a range of experts each providing examples from their own research, with seminar activities planned to facilitate learning and engagement.
