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).
