Where a health psychologist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a health psychologist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Health psychologists deal with the various aspects of health related behaviour of individuals and groups, by helping individuals or groups prevent illness and promote healthy behaviours by also providing counseling services. They perform tasks for the development of health promotion activities and projects on the basis of psychological science, research findings, theories, methods and techniques. They also engage in research about health related issues to influence public policy on health care issues.
