You will explore the knowledge, attitudes and values that influence lifestyle behaviours of individuals, communities and populations and interventions that could delay the onset of potential health problems across the lifespan. As part of this exploration, you will learn to undertake basic health indicator measurements and consider how these relate to lifestyles.
