On the 19th April 2023, the Bristol Poverty Institute (BPI) and the Health Psychology and Interventions Group (HPIG) held an in-person workshop on the relevance of poverty in health behaviour change intervention.

The event explored the real-world context of health interventions, and how interdisciplinary and collaborative action can be used to tackle inequalities and healthcare across disciplines. We were delighted to be joined by several fantastic speakers, delivering presentations which fuelled discussions in the afternoon workshops. Attendees were also invited to make pledges after the event.

We are pleased to share resources from the event below.
