Establishes that the health of the general population is influenced by socio- economic factors across countries and cultures. Some of these factors include social class and income. Describes how certain behaviours such as exercise have health enhancing effects while others such as smoking and use of illicit drugs have health damaging effects. Presents evidence of successful and non- successful approaches to changing individual behaviours that increase risk for diseases. Looks at ways of improving health- related quality of life by means of interventions such as stress management training, the use of social support and illness management programmes.
