do not get mammograms during the examination of predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors?
Diffusion of Innovations
The Health Belief Model
Transtheoretical model
Community Coalition Action Theory - ✔✔The Health Belief Model
Recycling glass bottles is an example of which type of social product?
Behavior
Service
Idea
Attitude - ✔✔Behavior
Which model or theory is a guide for impact or outcome evaluation?
RE-AIM Model
Ecological Models
PRECEDE-PROCEED Model
Social Marketing - ✔✔RE-AIM Model
Intervention at individual and group levels have been conducted to reduce HIV risk behaviors among the
most vulnerable populations at highest risk in the United States. In spite of these interventions, African-
American women remain the fastest growing segment of incident AIDS cases. Obviously, new research
studies are needed to provide intervention at individual, family, community, and society levels. As an
HIV/AIDS interventionist, which of the following factors will you consider as HIV/AIDS-related behavior to
incorporate into your model in reducing HIV risky behaviors?
Subjective norms
Self-efficacy
,Knowledge
Perceived risk
All of the above - ✔✔All of the above
Obesity intervention often utilized community trials to increase physical activity. These trials are usually
part of a "healthy heart" program and incorporate social and environmental measures, including public
service announcements about physical activity and total well-being. This approach in terms of health
behavior model is best described as the:
Social support model
Ecologic model
Health belief model
Transtheoretical model
Information, motivation and
skill building model - ✔✔Ecologic model
Multiple regression procedures may be used when two or more interval-level measures serve as
predictors of some normally distributed interval-level dependent variable. In this model, the regression
coefficient for any particular independent or explanatory variable (X1) represents the change in the
response or dependent variable (Y) associated with a one-unit change in X1, while controlling for or
maintaining other predictors (X2, X3, etc.) at constant. If required to use this predictive model in the
analysis of study data, which of the following assumptions are NOT necessary for a valid result?
All variables are interval- or ratio-scaled
The dependent variable should be normally distributed around the prediction line
The independent variable should be normally distributed around the prediction line
None of the above - ✔✔The independent variable should be normally distributed around the prediction
line
The bio-psychosocial model of health, which focuses on the multifactorial causes of disease, could be
applied to which of the following conditions as an attempt to understand their ethio-pathogenesis
EXCEPT?
Cancer
Otitis
Cardiovascular disorders
a and c only
, Diabetes - ✔✔Otitis
In Phase 3, which level of theory is most appropriate for examining reinforcing factors and indirect
communication channels?
Community-level theories
Policy based theories
Individual-level theories
Interpersonal-level theories - ✔✔Interpersonal-level theories
Which process governing observational learning is dependent upon communication skills?
Production
Retention
Motivation
Attention - ✔✔Production
Which is the most powerful single predictor of behavior across studies from the Health Belief Model?
Perceived benefits
Perceived susceptibility
Perceived severity
Perceived barriers - ✔✔Perceived barriers
The health belief model of behavior change assumes that humans act in rational ways and are more
likely to change behavior when confronted with a threat. If you are assigned to a breast cancer
prevention program and wish to use this model in promoting breast self-examination among Asian-
American women, which of the following factors will you consider in your implementation of this model?
- The perceived severity of breast cancer
-The actual effectiveness of taking action to prevent or minimize breast cancer as compared to barriers
to and costs of taking such an action
- The attitudes of Asian-American women toward breast cancer
- All of the above
- None of the above - ✔✔All the Above
