Going Health Positive: A Framework for Thinking About the "Product Environment" and Health

We’ve launched our Building H Medium publication with a post by Steve Downs on the idea of going “health positive.” Public health experts often talk about the roles of public policy and the built environment on health behaviors. At Building H, we also believe that the “product environment,” the products and services that surround us and form our culture, play an important role in shaping our behaviors and thus our health. In this post, Steve lays out a series of shifts in thinking that could lead to a more health-positive product environment.
