The use of theories to explore the determinants of specific behaviour and to tailor an intervention accordingly is important for several reasons88,89. The use of health theories can: guide the assessment of facilitators and barriers; inform researchers about the interventions’ development and delivery; clarify moderating factors and causal mechanisms; and provide a better understanding of the generalizability and replicability of implementation interventions.

Health behavior theory is a conceptual framework of key factors or variables hypothesized to influence health behavior. An established theory is logical, supported by evidence, and underpins behavior change plans and strategies. The different models and theories consist of the Social Cognitive theory, Health belief model, and the stages of change model. According to IHealth The Social Cognitive Theory is the theory that is based on the principle that behavior is dynamic depending on individual and environmental factors, all of which influenced one another simultaneously. The Social Cognitive Theory was created by Albert Bandura. Social Cognitive Theory holds that the interactions among the individual,environment, and behavior are complex, but

My purpose in writing this book is to give you the knowledge to succeed. I have written it to be as close as I can to the actual test; however, I do not claim that this practice exam is the same as the real test. The questions I’ve included are only examples of the ones that are asked on the actual exam. They are not the actual questions. That would be impossible because the questions

I believe the proper theory to apply to this campaign would be the health belief model (HBM). I am planning this to be an educational campaign, motivating the target population to change behavior, and HBM has worked well in educational interventions. The HBM for example is great for interventions where self-efficacy is high, and a population seems to be motivated. (Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanath, 2008) The HBM theory focuses on the perception of a health threat, and the preventative behavior. (Cao, Chen, & Wang, 2014) The campaign would need to focus on the threat of declining relationships, and the preventative behavior (building relationships) necessary to counter the threat.
