Vulnerability to poor health Vulnerability Definition “Threats to the individual (environment or personal) become greater than the ability to cope with these threats (i.e. resilience)” Modifiable threats – poverty, housing, educational attainment Non modifiable threats – age, gender, ethnicity

Vulnerability to poor health

Prioritisation Criteria Identify vulnerability factors in the community of interest/area Identify community/individual resilience factors Has previous work been conducted Evidence of cost effectiveness Will working with the community have impact on priorities and targets

Whole Systems Approach

Recommendations Invest in identifying people at high risk of CVD in primary care Implement all of the “high impact” changes and integrate into whole systems approach

Partnership Working Health Strategy to improve: health lifestyle behaviour wider health determinants (housing, environment school attainment, jobs)
