CROSS-CUTTING ANALYSIS

The HCP harnesses the multitude of unique individual profiles, and through aggregation and analysis, reveals common vulnerabilities (eg, discriminatory social norms and non-evidence-based information), and strengths. It recommends cross-cutting structural policy and programme reforms for institutions, schools, community resources and for individuals to develop a positive set of norms, knowledge, goals, attitudes and habits to chart the path towards health and well-being for all.

Through its proactive and preventative orientation, the HCP enables researchers and practitioners to identify which elements or combinations thereof are beneficial or detrimental, thereby sharpening our focus on the leverage points that policy-makers, individuals and communities should prioritise to rebalance profiles most efficiently.
