HLTH 665 – Health Behavior I

Assignment #5

Research Paper Proposal

Choose a public health issue (e.g., obesity, diabetes, alcohol abuse, violence, etc.), specific

behavior(s), and target population.  Develop a research proposal applying a health behavior

theory learned in class to address this specific public health issue and change a targeted health behavior(s).  That is, you are being asked to come up with an idea for a theory-based health behavior change intervention and write it up as a modified research proposal.

 

IMPORTANT:  YOU MUST FORMAT YOUR WRITTEN PROPOSAL USING THE HEADINGS AND SUBHEADINGS INDICATED BELOW.   FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN POINT DEDUCTIONS

 

The proposal should be 10-15 pages (please include page numbering), double spaced, 1-inch margins, 11point Arial font, APA Format and include:

  1. Title Page (not included in the page limit) that clearly identifies the public health

issue, specific behavior(s) to be changed, target population and theory you will use.

                  (2 points)

 

            ALSO INCLUDE AND SIGN THE HONOR PLEDGE:

      I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this assignment/examination:  ______________________________________________________

 

            2.  Rationale for:  a) target health behavior(s); b) target population;                    

                 c) selection of particular health behavior theory (8 points)

 

             3.  Condensed Literature Review of previous research utilizing the health behavior                             theory to address your specific public health issue/targeted health behavior(s). If                             you            cannot find literature specifically targeted to your population, expand your search                             for other applications of the theory to other populations and/or targeted behaviors and                          indicate the gaps in the field. (10 points)       

           

  4.  Methodology (15 points total) - BE SPECIFIC, PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DETAIL

                  a. Define and describe the theory constructs and explain how each construct will be

translated into specific components/activities/content of the intervention… that is, how you will apply each construct to assist participants in changing their behavior. (5 points)

 

                  b. Describe the intervention plan, i.e., the mechanism and strategies for delivering                      program content, i.e. what format will the intervention take, any use of media and

                  materials, number/length of sessions. (5 points)

 

                  c. Theory/Construct Measurement- Create 2 examples of survey items to                          

                  measure each theory construct. (5 points)

 

            5.  Study Strengths and Limitations- Describe and discuss what you believe to be the                          strengths of the study as well as its limitations. This should include attention to the                               theory, sample and methodology. (8 points)

 

            6.  How does this theory-based intervention impact social justice. Does it promote social justice?  If so, in what ways. Does it create further inequities or injustices?  If so, in what ways? Does it have no impact?  If so, please explain. (5 points)

 

            7.  References- you can include the textbook; however, there should be a minimum of 10                            additional peer-reviewed journal articles not cited in the text. Please include in-text                          references using APA format and a listing of your references at the end of the paper                            (2 points)
