1 Health means different things to different people. Consider what health might mean to other people in different contexts for example – a person who uses a wheelchair, a person in a country experiencing conflict, a person who is experiencing a mental-health problem or some other person of your choice. How might their understanding of health differ from yours and why?

2 Drawing on the material in this chapter, compare and contrast theoretical (or professional) understandings/concepts of health with lay understandings/concepts. Take time to reflect on why it is important to take both types of perspectives into consideration.

3 What factors do you think impact on, and influence, your understandings about health and what health means to you? Which of these are most significant and why?
