学习 BY 做
Behavioral and social variables influence all diseases. We believe that in order to improve health outcomes and promote health, it is important to comprehend how these diseases relate to the person, 家庭, 整个社会, 组织, 社区, 以及公共政策. This system, which is dynamic, influences issues like care access and adherence. 结果是, the behavioral and community health sciences within public health evaluate the health requirements of populations and 社区, design interventions to prevent disease and increase adherence based on social/behavioral theory, and use research methods to evaluate these programs and recommend improvement, frequently within community-based settings.
