This virtual event will introduce models for public health and prevention that can inform clinical psychologists work, demonstrate public health interventions in action showcasing three different projects, and provide an opportunity for participants to learn from each other.

Following the webinar, participants will have the following learning outcomes: 

1. Understand what different models can be used to create public health interventions

2. Understand how such models can be applied in practice across a range of contexts 

3. Network with other clinical psychologists working in this area

This event will be informed by the survey undertaken by the subcommittee (summary of which can be found here: https://www.bps.org.uk/blogs/division-clinical-psychology/public-health-prevention-uk) The models that are informing the work of the group include: PHE & UCL’s Psychosocial Pathways to Health Bronfenbrenner’s (2005) Ecological Systems Model Dahlgren & Whitehead’s (1991) model for tackling social inequalities in health Dickson, Derevensky, & Gupta’s (2004) Risk-Protective Factor Model And Kaplan’s (2000) Multilevel Epidemiological Approach. The PHE/UCL model will be used as the dominant model.
