Creating a Community-Level Document Library: Application Using Vision Zero Plans

McLeroy et al. proposed the ecologic model as a way to understand the multi-layered influences on health behaviors more than three decades ago. Specifically, the model defined the multiple layers of influence on behavior at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community/environment, and policy levels. Historically, the environmental and policy levels had received less attention for their important contributions to healthy and safe behaviors. However, since the publication of this model, researchers have applied the model extensively to a variety of behaviors, with newfound interest on environment and policy levels of influence.
