Implementation Mapping
Background: The ultimate impact of a health innovation depends not only on its effectiveness but also on its reach in the population and the extent to which it is implemented with high levels of completeness and fidelity. Implementation science has emerged as the potential solution to the failure to translate evidence from research into effective practice and policy evident in many fields. Implementation scientists have developed many frameworks,…
A taxonomy of behaviour change methods
In this paper, we introduce the Intervention Mapping (IM) taxonomy of behaviour change methods and its potential to be developed into a coding taxonomy. That is, although IM and its taxonomy of behaviour change methods are not in fact new, because IM was originally developed as a tool for intervention development, this potential was not immediately apparent. Second, in explaining the IM taxonomy and defining the relevant constructs, we call atten…

Preparedness of Health Care Practitioners to Screen Women for Domestic Violence in a Border Community
Health care professionals do not always screen patients for domestic abuse. In the absence of screening, the likelihood of misdiagnoses and prescriptions contraindicated for symptoms of abuse survivors is increased. Several factors may contribute to the lack of routine and uniform screening, including a lack of educational preparedness. The qualitative findings presented here are part of a larger quantitative study investigating the skills, belie…

Multilevel Models and Unbiased Tests for Group Based Interventions
For many large-scale behavioral interventions, random assignment to intervention condition occurs at the group level. Data analytic models that ignore potential non-independence of observations provide inefficient parameter estimates and often produce biased test statistics. For studies in which individuals are randomized by groups to treatment condition, multilevel models (MLMs) provide a flexible approach to statistically evaluating program eff…
Health Care Professionalsʼ Skills, Beliefs, and Expectations About Screening for Domestic Violence in a Border Community
This article describes domestic violence education of health professionals and determines association between screening behavior and preparedness, outcome expectations, and beliefs about how and when to screen. A survey was mailed to all primary care physicians, dentists, and nurse practitioners in El Paso, Texas (n = 561). Return rate was 34.4%. Using linear regression, differences (p < 0.05) were found between dentists and others in percentage …
Maximizing the Impact of the Cystic Fibrosis Family Education Program
The impact of a health education program to help families manage chronic disease will be determined not only by the demonstrated effectiveness of the intervention but also by the quality and breadth of program implementation. A theory-based intervention is evaluated that diffuses the Cystic Fibrosis Family Education Program (CF FEP) to approximately 20,000 families nationwide. Surveys of 106 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-certified CF centers are use…
Intervention Mapping
The practice of health education involves three major program-planning activities: needs assessment, program development, and evaluation. Over the past 20 years, significant enhancements have been made to the conceptual base and practice of health education. Models that outline explicit procedures and detailed conceptualization of community assessment and evaluation have been developed. Other advancements include the application of theory to heal…
Social Psychology and Health Education
This chapter addresses the contribution of social psychology to the field of health education. After a short introduction to health education, the role of social psychology is addressed. This role is referred to as problem-driven applied social psychology. Subsequently, the chapter describes general and specific theories that can be applied to the analysis of psychosocial determinants of health related behaviours, the development of theory-based …
Self-management of cystic fibrosis
Attitudes, Norms, and Self-Efficacy
Using data from a cross-sectional, statewide survey of 1,720 Texas ninth graders in 13 school districts, a model of psychosocial predictors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related sexual risk behavior was tested. Predictor variables in the model, based on variables from the Theory of Reasoned Action and Social Learning Theory, were attitudes, norms, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions. Attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy predicted 36.4…

Longitudinal Analysis of Health and Safety Behaviors among Preschool Children
Of 39 children aged 3 to 7 yr. who were taught about health and safety over 4 yr., more practiced safety than those in an untaught comparison group of 47. Practice of health behaviors, however, was similar
