HLTH 6220 - Applied Health Behavior Change

Introduction to important concepts and theories from the social and behavioral sciences that guide health promotion interventions targeted to changing health behaviors. Major public health problems such as health disparities, environmental risk factors, lifestyles choices that affect physical, mental, and social well-being, and problems with the organization and delivery of health services have both their origins and solutions in human behavior. Students synthesize the evidence-based health promotion literature, choose appropriate theoretical and behavioral measures to determine intervention success, and apply theory to intervention activities and programs.
