For this Discussion:

To prepare:

• Read Hayden (pp. v–vi; 1–10; and 225–232).
• Read Theory at a Glance (pp. viii; 3–8; and 9–13).
• Review Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Social Ecological Model.”
• Consider how each level of influence of the Social Ecological Model affects individual and organizational health behavior.
• Select a personal health behavior or a health behavior you have observed in someone else (e.g., physical activity, eating habits, tobacco use) for this Discussion.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a comprehensive response for the following:

• Describe your selected health behavior.
• Then, provide an example of how each level of influence of the Social Ecological Model—intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community—might negatively affect the behavior and explain why.
• Finally, suggest one strategy for promoting a positive behavior change at each level. Be specific and be sure to clearly identify the level of influence to which you are referring in your examples and strategies.
