Enable Editing DESCRIPTION (please do A, B, and C): A. Think about your or someone else's health-compromising behavior (i.e., behaviors that are performed that increase the risk of developing health problems). Presumably, there are areas in which you/they could change your/they behavior to reduce risk. Please discuss the following (I point each): 1. describe and define the health behavior in depth 2. discuss the health behavior's prevalence in the general population 3. any differences by gender, race/ethnicity, age 4. how and if this behavior has changed from a time in the past to now 5. what interventions are currently shown to be helpful in making changes. B. What are some of the explanations that occur to you that explain why this health- related behavior is sub-optimal (why you/they haven't made those changes)? Do any of the health behavior models or any particular variables of the models we discussed (e.g., Social Cognitive Theory: self-efficacy) seem to be especially predictive with regard to your they current health behavior? 1. Please be sure to reference at least 2 findings (results of a study) that may explain why it is hard to make a change or why you have been successful. (2 points) 2. Please be to reference at least 3 variables concepts/ models that explain your current and past behavior. (3 points) C. Finally, given the literature (findings and theories regarding interventions), discuss your plan to change your behavior. Please discuss the following: 1. describe at least 2 different types of interventions (2 points each) 2. contrast the effectiveness of these 2 types of interventions (1 point) 3. Discuss at least barriers or resources that may affect how easily you could change this behavior 2 points)
