The aims stated by Matarazzo appear very basic. Health psychology could consider power dynamics between healthcare professionals & patients/the public more, & how this may influence how individuals receive care. Alongside this, mental health in relation to health & illness needs to have more emphasis, as it can play a significant role which often is underestimated within healthcare settings. I also think health psychology could consider equality more in relation to different backgrounds (ethnicity, socio-economic, cultures, etc).

Health psychology need to focus on safety measures.

Most times, vaccines are tested on people without them being aware of the implication or the after effect of the vaccinations.

Proper sensitization, education, information giving and counselling should adopted.

Health psychology should also promote positive interrelationships among health professionals.

Might not be enough to just 'promote' healthy behaviour and education, as most people already know that they should eat healthy, exercise, not smoke etc. but people still do for reasons other that not understanding the consequences and importance of health (e.g., peer pressure, financial situation, motivation etc.)
