I do not know your resources. For example, you can detect the association between public health issues (smoking, alcohol use) and community psychology.

I agree with Irina's contribution. I believe that the paradigm shift from the medical model to the biopsychosocial model has enabled medical practitioners and more so public health physicians to address illness rather than disease holistically. Additionally, Lack of psychological well-being is associated with stress at work, unemployment, and job insecurity, as well ad with increased risk of heart disease. Therefore, the fact that medical practitioners adopt the biopsychosocial model can manage the condition better.

Hi I thing Social inequality

I belive Social inequality

I think that public Psychology and community Psychology overlap within every barrier they cross leading completely back to their environmental surrounds to their great grandparents genes. Everything overlaps; it is the way in which a human decides to use them within this overlapping.

The disease versus illness framework is a good theoretical model to better understand the link between public health and community psychology. This means focusing on illness rather than disease, as well as on population based rather than individual -based medicine.

The following publication is about social construction of illness, in that three insights are given namely, "First, some illnesses are particularly embedded with cultural meaning—which is not directly derived from the nature of the condition—that shapes how society responds to those afflicted and influences the experience of that illness. Second, all illnesses are socially constructed at the experiential level, based on how individuals come to understand and live with their illness. Third, medical knowledge about illness and disease is not necessarily given by nature but is constructed and developed by claims-makers and interested parties."

Conrad, P., & Barker, K. K. (2010). The Social Construction of Illness Key Insights and Policy Implications. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 51(1 suppl), S67-S79.

Considering these three insights may help public health professionals in their work in various cultural communities.

Thank you so much for all your responses. I have a next question regarding intervention programmes in the two areas. Hope to hear your views there. :)
