Quiz 1 (HBM + SEM) Flashcards
Thoery
What is theory?
Ch.1 - Lecture 1
- an interrelated set of propositions that serve to explain health behavior
- provide a systemic method of guiding health promotion practice
from a health promotion and disease prevention perspective
Theory
Why is theory important?
Ch.1 - Lecture 1
- basically answers the why? (explain behavior)
- helps identify what info is needed to design an effective intervention strategy and/or program (ways to influence and change behavior)
Theory
What are concepts?
Ch.1 - Lecture 1
ideas that have been developed or adapted for use in a theory
these are the bricks, the theories are the houses
Theories
What are constructs?
Ch.1 - Lecture 1
major components of a theory
building blocks
Theories
What are variables?
Ch.1 - Lecture 1
measurable factors or attributes of an individual or system
operational tools
What is a target population?
Lecture 1
the intended recipient of services
- in other words: people for whom the program model is intended
What are target behaviors?
Lecture 1
actions that you want to either decrease or increase in your life
Target Behavior
What are health promoting behaviors?
Lecture 1
behaviors which we want client or target population to begin/continue to engage in
Target Behavior
What are health compromising behaviors?
Lecture 1
behaviors which we want client or target populaton to stop engaging in
Health Behavior Theory
What is the goal of Health Behavior Theory?
Lecture 1
- maintain and improve health
- reduce disease risk
- manage chronic illness
Health Behavior Theory
What is the outcome of Health Behavior Theory?
improved well-being and self sufficiency of individuals, families, organizations, and communities
Health Behavior Theory
What are Explanatory Theories?
Lecture 1
- the why
- describes the reason why a problem exists
- considers factors that contribute to a problem which can be changed (self efficacy, lack of knowledge, social support, resources, etc.)
an example of this theory is the Health Belief Model
Health Behavior Theory
What are Change Theories?
Lecture 1
- the how
- guides the development of health interventions
- guides what you do about the problem
- assumptions about a how a program should work
Health Related Behavior
What are health related behaviors?
Lecture 1L
all those things we do that influence our physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual selves
ex: brushing teeth, yoga for stress, unprotected sex, etc.
Health Related Behavior
What are preventative health behaviors?
Lecture 1
any activity done by individuals who believe themselves to be healthy for the purpose of preventing illness in an asymptomatic state
ex: diet, exercise, smoking cessation, vaccination, contraception
Health Related Behavior
What are illness behaviors?
Lecture 1
- when people notice the symptoms of illness in themselves
- subjective behavior
- any activity done by individuals who perceives themself to be ill, to define the state of health and to discover a suitable remedy
ex: taking medicine, avoidance of physical activity or social activity

What are sick-role behaviors?
Lecture 1
- when people have consulted a healthcare professional, received a diagnosis, and begin the course of a treatment
- dependent behavior
- management of chronic illness

Health Related Actions
What are the categories of health related actions?
Lecture 1
primary: actions to prevent contracting an illness or disease
(vaccincation, masks, preventative health behaviors)
secondary: actions to detect and treat illness or disease early
(screening, physicals, illness behaviors)
tertiary: actions to reduce impact of illness or disease
(medications, cessation of poor habits, sick-role behaviors)
Social Ecological Model (SEM)
What are the assumptions of the Social Ecological Model (SEM)?
Lecture 2
- factors at many levels influence behavior
- influences interact across levels
- multi-level interventions may be the most effective in changing behavior
Social Ecological Model (SEM)
What are the contructs/levels of the Social Ecological Model (SEM)?
Lecture 2
- intrapersonal
- interpersonal
- institutional/organizational
- community
- societal
Social Ecological Model (SEM)
intrapersonal
Also known as: Individual
Lecture 2
- knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors
- basic level in health promotion
- individual characteristics that influence behavior
Social Ecological Model (SEM)
interpersonal
Lecture 2
- friends, family, and social networks
- assumes individuals exist within and are influenced by a social environment: opionions, thoughts, advice and support surrounding people influences one’s feelings and behaviors
