The Bristol Poverty Institute are partnering up with the University of Bristol’s Health Psychology Interventions Group for an afternoon of thought-provoking discussion on the relevance of poverty considerations in health behaviour change interventions. Given the cost-of-living crisis and its health impacts, it is more important than ever to go beyond individual level behaviour change and engage with the contexts in which interventions are applied. This is event will bring together a range of people to explore how we can collaborate effectively when designing interventions and conducting healthcare research to bring tangible benefits to those most in need.
This event is for those wishing to explore: i) the real-world context of health interventions and ii) how we can better bring together our skills and collaborate across disciplines when designing interventions and conducting healthcare research to bring tangible benefits to those most in need.
This in-person event is open to everyone but is especially relevant to anyone working in health (research or practice, public health or policy), where behaviour change is a key part of an intervention. We also particularly welcome those with lived experience.
