Describe the theory constructs you will be using and explain how each construct will be translated into specific components of the intervention

  • Title Page (not included in the page limit)–creativity is a plus here (1 point)
  • Introduction and Rationale–make certain you describe the purpose of your paper and the rationale for your research proposal; in this section also describe your target population, the specific behavior(s) that will be addressed (related to your health issue), and a brief explanation of why you chose this particular health behavior theory or model (10 points)
  • Condensed Literature Review of the public health issue, specific health behaviors and the theory or model you are using  (10 points)
  • Methodology (please be specific and provide sufficient detail)
    1. Describe the theory constructs you will be using and explain how each construct will be translated into specific components of the intervention (15 points)
    2. Describe the intervention plan–the mechanism and strategies for delivering the intervention, any use of media and materials, number/length of sessions, etc. This section will vary depending on the purpose of your study (10 points)
    3. Theory/Construct Measurement—describe how you will measure your theoretical constructs (5 points)
  • Study Strengths and Limitations—describe and discuss what you believe to be the strengths of your proposed study as well as its limitations. This should include attention to the theory, sample and methodology. (10 points)
  • References—there should be a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journal articles. (2 points)

Paper organization and writing (7 points)

  • Title Page, APA format, 11-point font, double spaced, organization, grammar, spelling and references. (10 Points)
    1. Title Page (not included in the page limit) that identifies the public health issue, specific behavior(s) to be changed, target population and theory you will use. APA format, 11-point font, spelling, grammar, organization, clearly written.
  • Rationale (10 Points)
    1. Rationale for:
      1. Target population,
      2. Target health behavior(s), and
  • Selection of particular health behavior theory
  • Condensed Literature Review (10 Points)
    1. Condensed Literature Review of previous research using the health behavior theory to address your specific public health issue/targeted health behavior(s).
  • Methodology–theory constructs and intervention components (15 Points)
  1. Describe the theory constructs and explain how each construct will be translated into specific components of the intervention.
  • Methodology—intervention (10 Points)
    1. Describe the intervention plan, i.e., the mechanism and strategies for delivering program content, any use of media and materials, number/length of sessions, etc.
  • Methodology–measurement tools (5 Points)
  1. Theory/Construct Measurement—describe how you will measure and operationalize the theory constructs you are using in your intervention.
  • Study Strengths and Limitations (10 Points)
  1. 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.
