1. General description of the health behavior and why it is important. This will include relevant background information, and statistics relating to the behavior. Use this information to justify the need for your health promotion program. How does this health behavior impact health outcomes?
2. Identify a specific population in which the behavior poses a threat. Use data to support your emphasis on this population. Also, discuss the problem the behavior poses for health. Visit the Center for Disease Control webpage on health communication (see Additional Resources) and describe what the CDC suggests in terms of tailoring your program for this audience.
3. Description of the Health Behavior Theory. Explain the basic concepts of the health behavior theory you chose. Use the Theory at a Glance document as resources but make sure the description is in your own words and properly cited.
4. Example in the Literature. Describe at least two published peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles describing a health promotion program for the health behavior you chose. Explain how the programs were applied and the successes and failures noted. Also, identify the behavior theory, model or framework used in these programs. (Note: It is acceptable if the reviewed literature targets a different population than the one chosen for your project.)
5. Describe your health promotion program. Provide a well thought out description of the hypothetical health behavior change program you would create to address the health behavior in your specific population. What are the goals of your program? What does your program look like? How will you implement your program? Who will run your program? How might you fund your program? How does your program target your specific population? How specifically does your program apply the chosen health behavior theory to change behavior? Be creativedon’t forget to give your program a name!
