Document Summary
Focuses on the complex interactions bw people, groups, and their environments, rather than on each of these factors in isolation, takes into account different overlapping spheres. Concentric circles: widening sphere of in uence; individual factors (knowledge, behaviour, skills) moving out to policy factors like laws. By taking the ecological approach you look at the individual and include their environment and what they encounter in their everyday lives, individual to a policy level. Many versions of the ecological framework, but all have 4 key principles: multiple levels of in uence (5) 2: multi-level interventions across the spectrum more effective in promotion health than interaction across levels a single strategy, best to think about each behaviour in its own context. Interconnected strategies that span across the circles. 5 levels of in uence on health behaviours (one is not more important than the other, all relate to one another)(can"t take the individual out of anything)
