Expert contributors from across the globe present actionable insights on teaching a varied range of health psychology topics. They outline detailed lesson plans on key topics such as health promotion, health disparities, illness prevention and management, the social determinants of health, and healthcare policies and systems. Chapters cover student learning objectives, assessment strategies, and activities for both foundational and advanced material, suitable for in-depth health psychology courses or for brief, innovative activities within broader courses or units. Incorporating emerging methods such as the use of simulation and AI, this book provides educators with the necessary tools to cultivate research literacy in their students and to foster their learning in the field of health psychology.
Teaching Health Psychology is an essential resource for psychology educators looking to develop dedicated health psychology programmes, as well as educators across the social and behavioural sciences interested in integrating this crucial topic into their existing programmes.
