Adopting the lens of the COM-B behaviour change model to qualitatively explore and understand public health implications of young adults’ attitudes towards death-talk

This study provides valuable insights into the perceptions and experiences of death-talk amongst young adults, including barriers and facilitators. The findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to enhance death literacy among young people, emphasising the importance of normalising these conversations in everyday life. Recommendations are proposed for utilising these insights to inform public health strategies, education, and policy development aimed at fostering a more open dialogue about death and dying within the broader community.
