The lifecourse health development model was proposed by Neal Halfon in 2014, when he was doing research in the maternal child health area. This framework thinks about health development as an ongoing and dynamic process which continues throughout life. The framework is based on research from many fields including behavioural and social sciences, to consider all the things that can impact our health.
Many of the things that affect our health are outside our bodies – they are in the environment. This framework considers access to care, having a positive school environment, for example as really important to our health.
