  1. Theory

  2. What is theory? • “… a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and propositions that presents a systematic view of events or situations by specifying relationships among variables in order to explain and predict the events or the situations.” • (Glanz, Rimer, and Lewis, p. 25)

  3. Concepts & Constructs • Concepts: • Major ideas • Constructs: • Concepts that have been developed and defined for use in a particular theory

  4. The Ecological Model • Emphasizes the links and relationships among multiple factors (or determinants) affecting health

  5. Ecological Model Public Policy Community Institutional or Organizational Interpersonal Individual

  6. Ecological Model NIH, Theory at a Glance

  7. Behavior Change Theories • The specific route(s) you will take to reach your destination – they suggest a road to follow.

  8. Behavior change theories with individual focus • The Health Belief Model (HBM) ** • The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) ** • Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) ** • Other Theories: • Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persausion • Information – Motivation – Behavioral Skills Model • Health Action Process Approach

  9. Health Belief Model (HBM) • Developed in the early 1950’s by social psychologists in the U.S. Public Health Service. • Hochbaum & Rosenstock • TB screening

Perceived barriers/risks: time, money, injury? 45 y/o Caucasian male, married, 2 children, works full-time, desk job, does not seek health information Strong family history of heart disease / strokes; feels it could “happen to him” and ultimately lead to serious disability/death Perceived Threat Likelihood of taking recommended action Doctor diagnosed him as hypertensive, started on medication Self-efficacy: moderate

  13. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) • Developed by Fishbein & Ajzen • An extension of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)

  18. Transtheoretical Model (TTM) Precontemplation Decisional Balance Contemplation Self-Efficacy Between every stage, the client needs to have decisional balance and self-efficacy Preparation Decisional Balance Action Self-Efficacy Maintenance

  19. Stages of Change (TTM) NIH, Theory at a Glance Groups with this theory: don’t forget a relapse plan!

  20. Behavior change theories with interpersonal focus • Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) ** • Social Network Theory (SNT) • Social Capital Theory

  21. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) • A behavior change theory with an Interpersonal / Social network focus.

  22. Reciprocal Determinism Characteristics of the Person Environment in which the behavior is performed Behaviorof the person

  24. Summary of Theories NIH, Theory at a Glance

  25. Summary of Theories continued NIH, Theory at a Glance

  26. Writing Objectives • Objectives start with the word “to” followed by an action verb. • Specify a single, key action to be accomplished • The What / how much • Specifies a target date • The When • Avoids the How and Why • Realistic and attainable

  27. Objectives • S: specific • M: measurable • A: attainable • R: realistic • T: timely
