Q

The new behavioral change becomes a routine and a habit. You no longer have to think about it.

A

Termination

25
Q

Back to square one. Lead a person back to contemplation or even precontemplation.
Example: You got sick and missed going to the gym for a week, and then next week, you were really busy, and by the third week you don’t even want to go back.

A

Relapse

26
Q

Study and practice of health promotion and disease prevention at the population level. Addresses problems in health among the population and improves the health of the population equally. It is both a branch of medicine and a focus of government action. Requires a more broad organizational power.
Example: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) help control and handle pandemics, natural disasters, acquire clean food and water for people to reduce the risk in fatal diseases and improve overall health.

A

Public health

27
Q

Activities like health promotion programs that can be implemented through home, school, and work help maintain the health of the public locally. Focuses on contributors to a populations physical and mental health instead of focusing on hospitals and clinics.

Example: Campaign advertised to promote physical activity

A

A

Healthy People Initiative

38
Q

Example:
Do you believe you are at risk of a problem?
Example: Imagine you are a smoker in a family where people are prone to heart disease. Your uncle and grandfather died from heart disease at relatively young ages. You KNOW that your smoking habit increases your risk for this disease.

A

Perceived susceptibility

39
Q

Do you perceive the problem as serious if it were to occur?
Example: You know your family is prone to heart disease and your a smoker. But now you realize that your continuing habit of smoking could lead to an early death.

A

Perceived seriousness of consequences

40
Q

If you change behavior, do you believe it will reduce the threat?
Example:
If you quit smoking, you reduce your risk of heart disease within a few years and you don’t have to go outside to smoke because smoking is bane in the residence hall.

A

Perceived benefits of specific action

41
Q

What factors will get in the way of you making a change, such as environment, time, money and beliefs?
Example: Most of your friends smoke, and it would be hard to hang out with them and resist a cigarette when your trying to quit.

A

Perceived barriers to taking aciton

42
Q

One way to organize your decision making process. This was developed to help understand peoples behavior changes and why people make the health choices they do.

A

Health Belief Model

43
Q

What is Transtheoretical Model as called?

A

Change Model

44
Q

Who developed the stages of the Change Model?

A

James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente

45
Q

Your more likely to prepare for change if you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and the fact that you can change. This term is associated with TTM or the Change Model.

A

Self-efficacy

46
Q

The ability to read, understand, and evaluate health information. Ability to understand medical instructions, directions, and to navigate the health care system.

A

Health literacy

47
Q

Exposure to a hazard can result in negative consequences and to be aware of that possibility, you need the ability to identify this..
Example:
if you have a family history of breast cancer and you learn that 13 percent of women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, you may feel alarmed and anxious about your risk based on that information. If you don’t have a family history of breast cancer and learn the same information, you may feel relieved and reassured about your risk. Recognizing the part played by your emotions can help you assess your risk in more balanced ways

A

Health risk

48
Q

This type of research typically conducts work on a cellular level or in animals. It contributes to a baseline of scientific knowledge.

A

Basic medical research

49
Q

Scientists use interviews, surveys, and measurements to study large groups of people. The purpose it to identify and explore the relationships between potential risk factors and disease.

A

Epidemiological studies

50
Q

Scientists study people who have received a particular treatment, screening, diagnostics test, or other intervention. The purpose is to identify whether a drug, a product, a behavior, or some other kind of intervention produces a particular effect.

A

Clinical studies

51
Q

The gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus of a cell composed of tightly wound molecules of DNA.

A

Chromosome

52
Q

The process by which an unspecialized cell divides and gives rise to a specialized cell.

A

Differentiation

53
Q

An undifferentiated cell that is capable of giving rise to different types of specialized cells.

A

Stem cell

54
Q

This impacts the appearance. It’s also alternative forms of a gene. An individual inherits one from each parent. One of these dominates the recessive gene. Unless there are two recessive then the individual acquires the recessive gene.

A

allele

55
Q

Can acquire this from both environment and genes. Examples are heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and schizophrenia.

A

Multifactorial disorders

56
Q

Area of study where researchers are identifying how health risks such as stress and poor nutrition can be passed from generation to generation independent of DNA sequence changes. Discovered that the environment can modify the structure of DNA. How genetics can be modified outside genetics and through environmental factors.

A

Epigenetics

57
Q

Small methyl particles attach to the DNA like glue. It changes the way DNA is used within cells. Which is why the environment has been able to modify the structure of DNA.
