Short Answer

 

 

 

 

31. Explain the general foundation of the social ecological approach to behavior change.

Ans:  Behavior has multiple levels of influence.  Seldom is behavior change based on influence from a single level.  This approach emphasizes the interaction between, and the interdependence of factors within and across all levels of a health problem.

32. Name at least three assumptions those who organize communities can make.

Ans:  Communities of people can develop the capacity to deal with their own problems; people want to change and can change; people should participate in making, adjusting, or controlling the major changes taking place within their communities; changes in community living that are self-imposed or self-developed have meaning and permanence that imposed changes do not have; a holistic approach can successfully address problems with which a fragmented approach cannot cope; democracy requires cooperative participation and action in the affairs of the community, and people must learn the skills that make this possible; frequently, communities of people need help in organizing to deal with their needs, just as many individuals require help in coping with their individual problems.

34. Explain the difference between health education and health promotion.

Ans:  Health education is only a part of health promotion.  Health education is any combination of planned learning experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups, and communities the opportunity to acquire information and the skills to make quality health decisions.  Health promotion is any planned combination of educational, political, environmental, regulatory, or organizational mechanisms that support actions and conditions of living conducive to the health of individuals, groups, and communities.  Health promotion is much more encompassing than health education.

37. Describe the difference between goals and objectives.

Ans:  A goal is a future event toward which a committed endeavor is directed.  Objectives are the steps taken in pursuit of a goal.  Goals are much more encompassing and global than objectives, are written to cover all aspects of a program, provide overall program direction, are more general in nature, usually take longer to complete, do not have  a deadline, are usually not observed by inferred, and are often not measured in exact terms.  Objectives are more precise than goals.  Objectives address who, what, when, and by how much.
