Coursework – HSM139 The Principles of Behaviour Change Coursework The choices people make can have a major impact on their own short- and long- term health and that of their family and social contacts. These choices may seem irrational and counterproductive to health professionals, who are aware of the probable consequences. However, these choices are influenced by a complex interaction of factors including health beliefs and values; people’s perceptions of their own self efficacy; health locus of control; the availability of appropriate health information; social norms and living and working conditions. There is now significant documented evidence demonstrating that certain lifestyle choices have substantial negative effects on health which are very costly on a personal, societal, and economic level. Learning Activities and Online Discussions The group discussions throughout the module provide opportunities for reflection and debate. These are designed to satisfy the learning outcomes in the Module Descriptor. Therefore, participation is important, to develop and engage with the topic and gain an understanding of the variety of perspectives shared in discussion. Guidelines In this assignment, you should review the case studies provided and consider the issues presented. Choose ONE case study from Appendix 1 which you will analyse in depth and provide a discussion of options for public health intervention. You should give consideration to biopsychosocial models of health, theories of health behaviour change and structural and environmental issues impacting on lifestyle behaviours, change and adherence. For your chosen case study, you will outline two possible interventions intended to encourage and support behaviour change, and justify the choice of one or both of these for implementation. Give due regard to underlying principles for the effective and ethical practice of public health and the skills and techniques required of the public health practitioner. Write a critical analysis and discussion in a maximum of 3,000 words (marking will stop at the word limit).
