Behaviours play a key role in improving health and wellbeing. Identifying and understanding behaviours and factors that influence them, and how best to address these factors is integral to achieving the ambitions of public health policy and practice. This webinar explored the critical role of behaviours in improving the health and wellbeing of Wales, explored what we mean by behaviour and considered the range of factors influencing behaviour using evidence-based models and frameworks.
