| A Behavioral Model Students/Clients Can Understand & Use? Surely Not!!! |
| Presentation is designed to acquaint various health care professionals with information and techniques that can assist students and clients in analyzing their health behaviors.
Individual behavior is one of the most complex issues to understand and define. Many behavioral models have been developed and promoted. The question is how adaptable and user friendly are they for someone trying to modify or change individual behavior?
A behavioral formula states: Behavior = (Motivation X Opportunity X Capability) - Inhibitions
Each of these factors play a major role in influencing risky health behaviors and are examined within the presentation. |
