Community Planning and Health Promotion Final

theory

a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and propositions that presents a systematic view of events or situations by specifying relations among variables in order to explain or predict the events of the situations

• provide a framework for generating testable hypotheses for health education specialists, as well as, integrative empirical evidence that overtime provides a roadmap for the design and implementation of intervention strategies

• concepts: primary elements of theories (building blocks)

• construct: a concept developed, created, or adopted for use with a specific theory

• variable: operational/practical use form of a construct

  • how a construct will be measured

Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)

• attitude toward behavior: degree to which performance of behavior is positively or negatively valued

• subjective norm: an individual’s perceived social pressure to engage or not engage in a behavior

• perceived behavioral control: a person’s perceptions of their ability to perform a given behavior

  • immediate antecedent of behavior

Human Belief Model (HBM)

• perceived susceptibility: belief of a person regarding the possibility of acquiring a disease or harmful state as a result of a particular behavior

• perceived severity: belief of a person regarding the extent of harm that can result from the acquired disease or harmful state as a result of a particular behavior

• perceived benefits: belief of a person regarding usefulness of the methods suggested for reducing risk or seriousness of the disease or harmful state resulting from a particular behavior

• perceived barriers: belief of a person regarding actual and imagined costs of performing new behavior

• cues to action: precipitating force that makes the person feel the need to take action

• self-efficacy: the belief or confidence in performing behavior

Transtheoretical Model (TTM)/ “Stages of Change Model”: an integrative framework for understanding how individuals and populations progress toward adopting and maintaining health behavior change for optimal health

• precontemplation: no plans to change behavior

• contemplation: plan to change within 6 months

• preparation: plan to change within 30 days

• action: has changed behavior

• maintenance: has changed behavior for > 6 months

• termination: behavior change = permanent (no change of relapse)

objectives

• represent smaller steps that lead to reaching goals

• more precise than goals

• outline specific changes to occur

• written in measurable terms

• several levels:

need to be SMART:

• S: specific

• M: measurable

• A: achievable

• R: realistic

• T: time

  • who, what

  • how much/many

  • time-line

  • can it be realized in a reasonable time frame

  • can the objective be realistically achieved

  • does the program have enough resources to obtain the objective

  • is it consistent with policies and procedures

  • do the objectives violate any of the rights of those who are involved

  • does it reflect the cultural characteristics of the priority group and the changes sought

DO NOT USE THE WORD AND

WHO is going to do WHAT, WHEN, and to WHAT EXTENT

Must only be ONE sentence

logic model

a systematic and visual way for planners to share and present their understanding of the relationship among the resources they have to operate a program, the activities they plan to implement, and the outputs and outcomes they hope to achieve

• can help all stakeholders understand the “big picture” of how planning, implementing, and evaluating all fit together

1. inputs (resources)

2. outputs (activities)

3. outcomes (results of effects)

• short-term, mid-term, and long-term
