Behavioural factors in person and community-centred approaches for health and wellbeing

"This report provides health and care audiences with a framework for understanding the drivers of behaviour, plus five factors that show how different behavioural mechanisms interact and play out. These factors seek to provide approaches that can help those grappling with how to encourage behaviour change for health to happen. These approaches can be hard-wired into the design of services, programmes, community initiatives, and indeed to the very lives of the people who engage with them."

Realising the value of people and communities

"We intend the report to be a practical resource to support the work of commissioners, providers, communities and others seeking to find ways to empower individuals and communities in their health and care. In addition, we hope that it will help commissioners, policymakers and practitioners to understand the range of approaches available, some of the key components and their potential to improve health and wellbeing outcomes, NHS sustainability and social value."
