HLTH 8220 - Theories and Interventions in Behavioral Science

A broad overview of theories that influence health behavior and health outcomes using the social-ecological model as a guiding framework. Focus is less on learning specific theories, and more on how to apply theories in a health intervention. Students read a variety of articles related to intervention research and identify issues that could form potential avenues of theoretical and intervention inquiry. The major emphasis is on designing a health behavior intervention using theory and writing a complete grant proposal detailing the intervention.
