Reimagining behaviour change at scale: agricultural extension-inspired health intermediaries as a strategy for uptake (KHADJESARIZ_U26FMH)
University of East AngliaNorwich Research Park, Norwich
Course overview
Effective behaviour change interventions for smoking cessation, alcohol reduction and weight management are widely available, yet uptake and sustained use in primary care remain limited, particularly among disadvantaged populations. The challenge is no longer identifying evidence-based interventions but understanding how to implement and scale what already works. This PhD will investigate how agricultural extension-inspired health intermediaries can improve uptake of smoking cessation, alcohol brief interventions and weight management within primary care.
