Behavioral Theory Interventions

Select a health behavior intervention for a patient/client. Using the

constructs of the Health Belief Model (HBM), describe how you, as a

health professional, would develop an intervention to address this

health behavior concern. What information would you need to gather from

the patient/client? When possible, find support in peer-reviewed

literature for the use of HBM for the chosen health behavior. Examples

of interventions include preventing osteoporosis in women, improving

nutrition in elderly, preventing childhood caries, and so on.
