Infection Prevention and Control (CPD Accredited)

Behavioral science plays a crucial role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Understanding human behavior and the factors that influence it is essential for developing effective strategies to reduce the spread of infections, especially in public health and clinical settings. Infection prevention involves not just medical and technological interventions, but also behavioral changes at both individual and community levels. Behavioral science can help identify barriers to adherence to preventive measures and develop interventions to improve health behaviors and outcomes.
