The administration of your organization has tasked you with developing a theory-based health promotion initiative aimed at changing the selected behavior of the selected population/community. (Type 2 Diabetes among the African American Population)
The first step in that process is to narrow the many health behavior models/theories to just two (Health Belief Model & Social Cognitive Theory). Once that is done, the administration would like for you to present them with information on two appropriate models/theories and communicate with one is the most appropriate and why.
Additionally, the administration would like for you to provide them with an overview of how you would apply the most appropriate theory to create the intended behavior change.
To that end, prepare at PPT that addresses the following:
Part I. Model/Theory 1
- The historical background of the development of the model/theory (1–2 slides).
- A definition and description of the concepts/constructs of the model/theory, including (2–4 slides):
- Strengths and Weakness – assumptions and limitations of the model/theory as it relates to behavior change (2-4 slides)
- An example of use of the model/theory in public health practice (for example: health promotion program, health communication campaign, etc.) (2-4 slides)
- Critique of how the model/theory was applied (1-2 slides)
Part II. Model/Theory 2
- The historical background of the development of the model/theory (1–2 slides).
- A definition and description of the concepts/constructs of the model/theory, including (2–4 slides):
- Strengths and Weakness – assumptions and limitations of the model/theory as it relates to behavior change (2-4 slides)
- An example of use of the model/theory in public health practice (for example: health promotion program, health communication campaign, etc.) (2-4 slides).
- Critique of how the model/theory was applied (1-2 slides)
Part III. Based on the selected population and public health issue/condition/disease, select the most appropriate model/theory and explain why by doing the following:
- Discuss of why this model/theory is most appropriate (1-2 slides).
- Explain how you would apply to the theory to create the intended behavior change. (2-4 slides)
- Conclusive message to the administration (1 slide)
Remember to include at least 4 scholarly references.
