Overview
This chapter will help lay the foundation for good health and positive behavior change. The
terms health and wellness are used interchangeably to describe the entire dynamic process of
fulfilling one’s potential in the physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and
environmental dimensions of life. Multiple factors contribute to the status of one’s health,
many of which are within a person’s control. To be healthy, one must make decisions about
when to maintain current healthy behaviors and when and how to change unhealthy ones.
Chapter 1 provides an understanding of how behavior change occurs and how one can
improve their health behaviors. A major focus is the decision-making section and the self-
assessment of one’s health. Chapter 1 sets the tone for the remainder of the book.
Learning Outcomes
1. Describe the immediate and long-term rewards of healthy behaviors and the effects that
your health choices may have on others.
2. Compare and contrast the medical model of health and the public health model, and
discuss the six dimensions of health.
3. Classify factors that today’s research and professional groups indicate are the major
determinants of health and behaviors and that can be changed through your behaviors and
social interactions, by policies and community action, and through global health initiatives.
4. Describe mindfulness, identifying its health benefits and ways to incorporate it into your
life.
5. Compare and contrast commonly utilized models of health behavior change, such as the
health belief model, the social cognitive model, and the transtheoretical model and explain
how you might use them in making a specific behavior change.
6. Identify your own current risk behaviors, the factors that influence those behaviors, and the
strategies you can use to change them.
