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 - (answer)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 - (answer)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 - (answer)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

factors and indirect communication channels?
Community-level theories

Individual-level theories
Interpersonal-level theories - (answer)Interpersonal-level theories
Which process governing observational learning is dependent upon
communication skills?
Production
Retention
Motivation
