Write a two-page paper that describes the focus population (age,
gender, circumstances, and issues that have an impact on their
health), and how the theory would be applied to this population in
a public health setting.
Describe how the elements in the theory would be applied to the
intervention. For example, in the Health Belief
Model if someone is at risk of HIV infection, you would consider
the following:
A. Perceived Susceptibility (One’s
opinion of chances of getting HIV).
B. Perceived Severity (One's opinion
of the seriousness of HIV).
C. Perceived Benefits (One’s belief in
the efficacy of practicing safer sex and/or taking medication, or
not sharing needles to prevent infection).
D. Perceived Barriers (One's opinion
of the tangible and psychological costs of practicing safer sex
and/or taking medication).
E. Cues to Action (Strategies to
activate "readiness” – keeping condoms with oneself or next to the
bed and/or keeping medication visible to remind one to take
them).
F. Self-Efficacy (Confidence in one's
ability to practice safer sex and/or take medication
correctly).
Your application of the theory would describe how the population
thinks about their risks for HIV, (A, B, C) the costs to them of
preventing infection (D), and provide information and instructions
about what they need to do to prevent infection (E,
F). Describe strategies or activities that a public
health program could do to address HIV while applying the theory to
the intervention.
