Four Health Theories
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to describe the four health theories. The paper will address how these theories are applied, address two strengths for each theory model, and any limitations. Furthermore, the paper will address the theory that will be used in my public health campaign and justification.
Theory of Reasoned Action The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model is used for “evaluating the behavior belief are usually scored from -3 to +3, capturing the psychology of double of double negatives, where a belief will not result in a negative outcome contributes positively to the person’s attitude.” (Glanz, Rimer & Viswanath, 2008, p. 72) One study conducted in 2004, using the theory of reasoned action, “surveyed 96 …show more content…
(Glanz, Rimer & Viswanath, 2008, p.68) A study conducted looked at “84 smokers attending health promotion clinics in a primary care setting completed questionnaires that assessed the main constructs of the theory of planned behavior, perceived susceptibility, and past cessation attempts. The Theory of Planned Behavior model was used and found results that suggest that interventions should focus on perceptions of susceptibility and control to increase smokers' motivation to quit.

And, claims that key issues draw away from what are the main factors that cause human motivation. The question should be asked in order to understand how much impact TTM will have on reducing a problem. (Prochaska, 2006).
Justification for Using Health Belief Model The role of Public Health researchers is not just to study problems however, it is about organizing and mobilizing the community in order to support and implement solutions. (Resnick and Siegel, 2013, P.45) As I prepare to formalize a plan for my public health campaign, it is important for me to collect as much information as possible in order to compare the models in order to move forward with the model of choice. Additionally, the model that is most appropriate for my campaign based on the research, is the Health Belief Model. “The emerging chronic disease epidemic poses both a threat to the public’s health and a challenge to public health practice.” (Resnick & Siegel, 2013, p.3) Based on this epidemic, it is crucial for researchers to conduct interventions that will encourage people to take action and create behavioral changes in order to live healthier
