The main components of socioecological framework

Policy → federal, state, and local legislation | Community → cities, neighborhoods, resources, norms | institutional → organization, schools, workplace | interpersonal → family, friends, social network | individuals → knowledge, attitudes, skills, behaviors

Challenges and limitations related to socioecological framework

Doesnt actual tell you how to accomplish the change, Broad, Doesnt focus on intervention impact

An application of socioecological framework to a public health problem

COVID: policy - rent relief policy, ebt funds, unemployment checks | community → social distancing and wearing masks | institutional – lockdown | interpersonal → social distancing, social stigma of being sick | individuals → wearing masks, self accountability with sickness, hand sanitizer, self quarantine 

The main purpose or definition of health belief model

Predict the likelihood of a person following a recommended action and ot understand the persons motivation and decision making regarding seeking health services. It is simple and easy to apply and focuses on individual decision making 

The main components of the health belief model

Perceived seriousness, perceived suscpetibilty go into perceived threats which along with perceived benefits/barriers, self efficacy and cues to action lead to the likelihood of engaging in health promoting behaviors

 Any challenges or limitations related to health belief model

It assumes ppl wanna get well, that ppl believe health action with prevent illness, and that they can successfully take action. It overlooks environmental social factors, assumes rational decision making and ppl care about stuff, limited applicability to habitual behaviors

An application of the health belief model to a public health problem

Working out→ perceived seriousness: you have bad health if you dont | perceived suscpetibilty: you could be fat | perceived benefits: you will feel good if you work out | perceived barriers: you dont have time | self efficacy: you are actually able of move your body and working out | cues to action: you are reminded by ppl or smth to workout

 The main purpose or definition transtheoretical model

Explains the progressions of change and how people can change intentional behaviors through change

The main components of the transtheoretical model

Precontemplation: no intention to change in six months, contemplation: considering change within the next six months, acknowledge it as a problem, preparation: planning to take change within 30 days, seeking help, asking for support, planning what it will look like, action: actively modifying behavior for less than 6 months: high commitment, actually trying, maintenance: actually changing for 6+ months, reducing temptation, just dont relapse, termination or relapse: either no desire to return to past or they go to a pervious stage

Any challenges or limitations related to the transtheoretical model

An application of the transtheoretical model to a public health problem.

The main purpose of health in the arts

Way to emotainally deal with injury, illness, etc, positive influene on ehalth beahaviors, provide method of enjoyment, create a space for patients to connect with others

 The main components of health in the arts

Three main pathways: art and mentahl health (improves outcomes), art and social health (improves belonging, build networks),  arts and physical health (positive and neagative, body outcomes but also help like dancing for overweight ppl)

 Any challenges or limitations related to health in the arts

Not perceived as actually helpful, not accepted in spaces of health, mostly thought of as mental health problem

. The main purpose or definition of the health communication theory

To share important health information to encourage individuals to take healthy action using the elaboration likelihood model you can make ppl motivated to change

The main components of the health communcation theory

1. Communicate participations of informal and formal leaders, influential ppl 

2. Share important information with leaders 

3. Establish link between health action and health outcome

Steps in elaboration likelihood model 

1. Identify the problem

2. Identify target audience

3. Identify what you want to say → think about barriers, beliefs, risks, attitudes, norms, and keep  pretesting 

4. Where do you want to say it

5. Identify a trusted and credible source → trustworkty = likeliable and similar and credible = trustworthy and expert

6. How do we get the comm. Used

7. How do you implement comm.

8. How well did you do (key metrics)

 Any challenges or limitations related to the health communciaton theory model

It is difficult to get a good fast and cheap form of communication, lots to consider with communication, sometimes those planning the communication are not aware of cultural factors and forget to consider things

An application of the health communication theory to a public health problem.

COMM: get breast cancer testing

1. Identify important ppl in females lives

2. Tell those ppl of the threat

3. Share link between catching cancer early and surviving

Elaboration likelihood model

1. Ppl dont get tested

2. Women

3. say get tested and why you should

4. In female populatited spaces like nail salons 

5. Doctors and trusted and credible to many american females

6. Share the issue with leaders like religious, families, work, female spaces
