POPULATION

Individual as a Person# Individual Lifestyle Choices Mental Health NHS AND Social Services*? Motivation - PURPOSE Unhealthy behaviours Health Coaches

Local plans Individual as a Person -  Age, Sex, constitutional factors Individual Lifestyle Choices New Care Models* (and PROCESSES) Pop. Health = Aggregated Data Environmental conditions (Does the colour of Gov matter?)

Public Mental Health Health Care Demand in the community  Living and Work Conditions "Population health means the health outcomes of a defined group of people, as well as the distribution of health outcomes within the group." Social and Community Networks Social Care PRACTICE Education (informal) General Cultural and Socio-

NHS POLICY<-> Population Health Sustainability and transformation plans (STPs) "... health equity – the avoidable differences in health between different parts of the population – is a core part of understanding population health." Education (formal) Health Care Services Housing Water and Sanitation Agriculture and Food Production Work POLICY "In United States - Pop. Health defines aims of health system" Unemployment -Economic Conditions

Within Hodges' model the * items are automatically included in all four care domains (five with the Spiritual), for reasons of brevity and presentation they are included in what I consider their primary contextual domain.

Individual as a Person# in the Sociological and Political Domains in a group context (From: Dyad ... To: Current Human Population).
