Psychology for Addressing Global Health Challenges is conceived as a pioneering volume that delves into the nexus between psychology and the paramount global health challenges of our era. With a deep focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book is strategically crafted to empower psychologists, researchers, health practitioners, health managers and policy makers with the knowledge and tools essential for addressing pressing health issues on a global scale. By concentrating on the unique interplay between psychological factors and the health landscape, the volume seeks to equip students and professionals with actionable insights and evidence-based psychologically-rooted strategies for designing effective and human-centered interventions, and interdisciplinary insights to promote a systems-thinking approach to global health challenges. The primary objective is to harness the power of psychological science to foster positive behavioural change and sustainable practices, ultimately contributing to the advancement of a more equitable and sustainable world.
