Prevention: Strengthening Communities and Society for Collective Action
This webinar is the second in a series on prevention (see details of the first here), where we will gain insights into the broad factors influencing the health of communities, new measures of evaluating population health, and ideas for behavioural interventions to improve health.
We will be viewing this challenge from a diverse range of perspectives to address questions including:
- How is poverty and precarity experienced and in what ways does this influence the ability to have a good quality of life?
- How should we engage and empower communities in prevention efforts?
- How do we consider more holistic approaches to measuring success in prevention and wellbeing? What does success look like?
- What assets as well as barriers exist within communities and how can behavioural interventions work with these to prevent poor health?
Speakers will include:
- Dr Angelique Mavrodaris (Chair), Clinical Research Fellow and Consultant in Public Health Medicine, Public Health England – East of England
- David Leese, Analysis Manager, Evidence and Impact Team, Joseph Rowntree Foundation
- Dr Jonathan Pearson-Stuttard, Clinical Research Fellow, Faculty of Medicine, School of Public Health, Imperial College London
- Filippo Bianchi, Policy Advisor at The Behavioural Insights Team
Join us to hear from our expert guest speakers and be a part of the discussion to provide insights on how we can harness the potential of our existing assets and infrastructures to build a bold vision for prevention and influence regional practice and research.
