Ecological Model of Health

The Ecological Model of Health emphasizes that health is influenced by various interconnected factors at different levels. It includes individual factors (like genetics and behavior), relationships (such as family and friends), community influences (like access to healthcare and social norms), and broader societal factors (like policies and culture). This model highlights that improving health requires considering the complex interactions among these levels rather than focusing on only one aspect. By addressing these layers, we can create more effective health interventions and promote overall well-being.
