**Part 2 &3 In SG - MOH, HPB, SINGSAT, WHO (World Health Org)

Chronic illness - long lasting
2 different time points -  3 months(Conservative) & 6 months(Liberal)
eg. Heart disease, cancer, stroke

Age - X older but higher chances of catching chronic illnesses (target at age 18 -20, 40 plus)
Race - Asian Americans struggle to make a name for themselves cause they are minority.
         - Most Asian has a cancer gene that can be trigger through stress.
         - Chinese likely to get cancer
         - Malay likely to get diabetes
         - Indians likely to get Heart diseases or stroke

Income level

Healthy Living? Safer drinking water
Medical Care - subsidise

Biological model - Bio, psych, social
 

Lifestyle base

Psych - stress I go and eat out then it affects the heart (Bio)

          - so manage stress better, don't eat so much then won't affect the heart (bio)

Social - want to cut back on fat intake but friend ask you eat at FC 5 eat KFC, it affects heart (bio).
          - have healthy friends who eat KFC but throw skin away then it won't affect heart (bio) as much.


Health - (WHO definition) Bio, Psych, Social
           - have disease but manage it is still considered

Health Psychological

Psycho Factors that increase placebo effect - bigger the better, colour pill better than plain pills, With brand better than brand-less, physicians effect (more motivated want to help, patient likely physicians and want to get better)

Physical Factors affect placebo effect - neurotransmitter, dopamine , hormones activated. (Bodily reaction)

Testing people using double blind procedure - both participants and researcher are aren't aware.
Why - reduce bias involve in experiment
Drawback - hard to conduct.

How health psych make their research more claim that his research has an effect on something?

• Read a lot of available work (is it in line with what it is found)
• Control experiments (Increase control to have casualty) - people (use probability sampling)
• Independent variables
• Don't let personal bias go into your findings.
• Replicable
