Health and Lifestyle

Description

There are many effects of lifestyle on health that can be affected by targeted changes, resulting in improved health outcomes and ultimately longer life expectancy.  The determinants of a healthy lifestyle include the socioeconomic environment and postcode location, and this module will outline the main areas of lifestyle and non-communicable diseases, and link lifestyle to these factors.  Students will explore the current health policies and practices of the devolved Scottish Government and/or the UK Government and analyse current approaches in health promotion, evaluating these for health outcomes and report on their findings.  They will work in groups to debate issues and produce materials for disseminating health information.

This is an SCQF Level 11 module and upon successful completion, participants will be awarded 20 credits.
