People: health & wellbeing
At the Health and Society Group, we take a holistic approach to human health, wellbeing, and lifestyle practices. The "People" aspect of our research examines the interpersonal factors that influence health, such as social norms, networks, and experiences of social marginalisation.
By studying how people's environments, relationships, and lifestyles impact their health, we aim to advance knowledge and create positive changes for communities. Our work contributes to healthier, more equitable societies by focusing on the social determinants of health and promoting sustainable practices.
Through our research, we help individuals and groups lead healthier lives and empower communities to foster change and improve overall wellbeing. Join us in exploring how we can work together to enhance the health of people everywhere.
