The authors demonstrate the usefulness of social ecology theory for improving the treatment and prevention of poor health. The social ecology of health, unlike the topics of previous triptychs in Behavioral Medicine, is a field without a clearly defined body of literature. We begin with an overview of the ecological perspective and ecological theory as outlined by Bronfenbrenner and colleagues, provide examples of how ecological concepts have been demonstrated to influence health, and discuss how these concepts can be used by health professionals. We present a heuristic model illustrating leverage points and linkages (i.e., socioeconomic status, family, work, and school), for health, and we conclude with a consideration of the benefits of social ecology to health professionals and a summary of the limitations of the ecological model.
作者们证明了社会生态学理论在改善健康问题的治疗与预防方面的实用性。与行为医学中之前三联画主题不同，健康的社会生态学是一个没有明确界定文献体系的领域。我们首先概述了布朗芬布伦纳及其同事所阐述的生态视角和生态理论，列举了生态概念如何被证明对健康有影响的例子，并讨论了健康专业人员如何运用这些概念。我们提出了一个启发式模型，说明了健康的杠杆点和联系（即社会经济地位、家庭、工作和学校），最后考虑了社会生态学对健康专业人员的益处以及生态模型的局限性总结。
