FrameWorks’ research shows that members of the public think about “health” as simply the result of genes and individual lifestyle choices.The public health field and the role of social determinants in maintaining healthy communities are not well understood. In this session, we’ll explore the dominant beliefs that shape people’s understanding of health – what it is, how it happens, and who is responsible for it – and discuss research-tested tools and strategies for reframing how people think about health and the systems and environments that support it.
