Targetting non-conscious processes for healthier behaviour across populations
Prof. Dr. Theresa Marteau, Director of the Behaviour and Health Research Unit in the Clinical School at the University of Cambridge
Changing four sets of behaviour (smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, poor diets and physical inactivity) has the potential to prevent 75% of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and 40% of cancers, as well as reduce health inequalities by 50%.

Interventions aimed at informing and persuading us to change our behaviour have limited impact because much of our behaviour is shaped not by our intentions but by cues in our environments, often without our awareness. This talk will consider the effectiveness of altering physical micro-environments by removing, adding or altering cues to change behaviour across populations. The acceptability to the public and policy makers of this approach will also be addressed.
