Addresses the complex interplay between individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and societal factors. 

Allows us to address the factors that put people at risk. 

Approach is more likely to sustain prevention efforts over time than any single intervention.

Social Ecological Model factors influence our daily decisions, and ultimately influence our health. During the pandemic the decision to receive the vaccine is influenced by:

  • Our personal beliefs (Individual)
  • Whether trusted family members or friends have chosen to take it (Interpersonal)
  • The work environment we encounter as teachers, nurses, physicians, or other fields (institutions and Organizations)
  • Advocacy from the organizations we’re a part of (Community), or
  • Our confidence and trust in the federal government (Structures and Systems)

The model does not work well with issues/illnesses that can't be prevented

It might not work well with communities in denial of the problem/illness]]> 2022-02-11 04:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/6k3o6f6ln574fmxi/wish/2041711168 Ricky https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/6k3o6f6ln574fmxi/wish/2045469256 Interpersonal

Social Networks - Diabetics on social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)

Culture - Culturally-competent healthcare programs for low SES neighborhoods

Individual

Motivation to improve health status (QoL)

Programs designed to increase diabetes knowledge

Community

Healthcare services for marginalized communities (low SES status)

- Limited disease scope
- Individuals may be adamant about change or may not believe that they have a problem

- It helps researchers understand the drivers of health decisions and how these can be modified on all levels (individual, interpersonal, organizational, societal, policy level)

- Understanding and creating better community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches]]> 2022-02-14 17:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/6k3o6f6ln574fmxi/wish/2046789638 https://padlet.com/andrewespringer/6k3o6f6ln574fmxi/wish/2048968978 Healthy people 2020
- Initiative that sets national objectives each decade to help monitor and improve the health of the US
