Question

describe how the people model was applied in the article precede-proceed summary

Answer 1

Ans) Precede-Precede model:

1) When a health problem affecting a particular population is identified.

2) The health professional must do something to fix the problem.

Benefits:

- It can help guide the process of choosing the tools to solve the problem.
-This is a theory to help us choose theories and models.
Designed not only to plan interventions but also to evaluate them.
-Use these theories and concepts to choose the best way to intervene (what produces the best effects and results)
-be able to break down a behavior by its constructs (aka intervention)

• Precede-Proceed Main purpose:

- It is not to predict or explain health behaviors

- Main purpose is to provide a structure for applying theories and concepts systematically: For planning and evaluating health behavior change programs.

• PRECEDE-PROCEED is a model that it links:

- causal assessment
- intervention planning
- evaluation
- into one overarching planning framework.

Using this is a tool to help diagnose a health behavior problem at and individual and environmental level:

Ex: community around USC , trying to increase physical activity levels. Would this be able to diagnose this problem successfully?
Enabling factors: gyms? Green areas?
Individual behaviors of predisposing factors: availability to healthful foods.
Reinforcing factors( at an individual level): commercials and ads for junk food or unhealthy foods.

• The planning process of the PRECEDE-PROCEED framework:

- Involve choosing the factors that are most important and most changeable.

- Finally, measurable objectives are specified throughout the process

- This model is looking to identify measurable objectives (all outcomes have to be measured in order to conduct some type of statistics on it) pros of this include: you can very objectively test and see how effective it was. Cons: some things are not easily measureable or if your data is incorrect.
