The focus in the subject will be upon health promotion and clinical health psychology
as areas of specialization within health psychology. Both population level and individual
level interventions will be considered. Taking a population health promotion perspective,
topics covered include factors contributing to chronic disease and the social determinants
of health. Particular attention will be paid to the differential impact such factors
have upon different population groups, for example children, the elderly and indigenous
Australians. Areas of focus include obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and
physical activity. In the clinical health area, emphasis will be placed on psychological
assessment relevant to physical illness, psychological and behavioural management
in the treatment of illness, and clinical intervention design.
