About

    Environmental influences refer to the external factors that impact an individual's behavior, development, and well-being. These influences can include physical surroundings, such as the quality of air, water, and soil, as well as social factors like family dynamics, peer relationships, and cultural norms. Environmental influences play a significant role in shaping an individual's health, lifestyle choices, and overall quality of life. Researchers in this area often study how environmental factors interact with genetic predispositions to influence various outcomes, such as mental health disorders, chronic diseases, and social behaviors. Understanding environmental influences is crucial for developing effective interventions and policies to promote healthy living and protect the environment.
