BSHS 0310 - Health Behavior

Description
Examines health-related motivation and behavior through the study of relevant psychological, sociological, and educational theory and research. Emphasis is on application of behavioral and behavior-change theories and constructs in designing effective health education and promotion programs. By using behavior-change theories and models as “building blocks” this course demonstrates how to develop relevant goals and objectives based on those theories and examines approaches to behavior change used in integrative systems of healthcare. Case-study examples of how health behavioral theory has been successfully used in school, community, athletic, medical and worksite settings for health promotion interventions will be discussed.
