MPS663 Changing Health Behaviors

Module 8 Assignment  

Signature Assignment

The Signature Assignment will be 8-10 page (excluding cover page and references) and include a minimum of 4 sources from the Touro library.

This paper will focus on the health condition of high blood pressure.

In this scenario, this is due to a variety of behaviors, some of which include: lack of exercise, high sodium intake/frequent fast food intake, heavy alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, high stress, etc. Discuss how 4 theories or topics covered between Modules 1-8 can be applied to changing and improving this condition and changing the behaviors that are contributing to high blood pressure. Be sure to include all elements/constructs of each theory and topic. As with the Case Assignment, these theories apply differently from person to person and depend on individual circumstances, so discuss hypothetical scenarios when necessary. You do not need to apply all behaviors (lack of exercise, high sodium intake/frequent fast food intake, heavy alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, high stress, etc.) to each theory, just 4 theories to at least one behavior.
