In this Assignment, you will: choose a theory or model of health behavior to guide the creation of program activities, justify your choice, create program activities, create a program logic model, and develop a program implementation plan.

Your Assignment should be approximately 3–4 pages in length, written in primarily essay format and include appropriate supporting citations and references in APA format. Address the following topics:

  1. Write an introduction that describes why theory is useful and important in the design of health promotion interventions. (1–2 paragraphs)
  2. Choose a theory or model of health behavior to guide the creation of program activities from this list: Health Belief Model, Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior, Transtheoretical Model/Stages of Change, Social Cognitive Theory, Social Ecological Model.
  3. Explain why you selected this theory or model. Your explanation should include: (3–4 paragraphs)
    1. a brief overview of the theory/model including its major constructs,
    2. a discussion of why it is appropriate for your program purpose and target population,
    3. evidence of this theory’s/model’s suitability for your program.
  1. Create at least 1 program activity based on each construct of the theory or model you chose. Explain which program objective(s) is supported by each activity. Make sure you have at least one program activity to support each objective. (2–4 paragraphs)
  2. Explain what is meant by tailoring program activities and describe steps you will take to tailor your activities to the target population. (1–2 paragraphs)
  3. Create a program logic model and write 1–2 paragraphs explaining your logic model. You may create your own model or use the template provided in Course Documents.
  4. Develop a program implementation plan that: (3–4 paragraphs)
    1. describes who will adopt the program,
    2. identifies potential barriers to program adoption and offers strategies to address barriers
    3. describes who will implement the program,
    4. identifies potential barriers to program implementation and offers strategies to address barriers, and
    5. establishes the expected program implementation tasks and timeline.
  1. Write a summarizing conclusion. (1 paragraph)
