Centre for Psychosocial Research in Cancer: CentRIC, School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK.
Background: Lynch syndrome carriers ('carriers') are presented with complex, emotionally laden choices regarding management of increased genetic cancer risks. Decision aids encourage active involvement in values-based health decisions. This paper aimed to address the research question: How do Lynch syndrome carriers make sense of their chances of developing cancer, and what are the implications for providing support with decision making about genetic cancer risk management?
Methods: Adult carriers were recruited through a genetics service or involvement with Lynch Syndrome UK.

The evidence raises the possibility of neighbourhood intervention playing a role in protecting population cognitive health. However, there is little understanding of these associations among the public and policy-makers, what they mean and how they might be acted on.

Multimorbidity is not a single entity but differs quantitively and qualitatively across life stages, ethnicities, sexes, socioeconomic groups and geographies.

While value-based health care (VBHC) is transforming Australia's health system, with its focus on patient-centred care and outcomes, it cannot transform Australia's health without policy action to address the social determinants of health. Australia is moving towards a wellbeing economy, but governments have not been explicit in the methods by which the health system will contribute to the development of a wellbeing economy at a macro level. It is also unclear how governments will ensure that approaches to valuing wellbeing will complement current health care innovations in defining and evaluating value in relation to health outcomes.
