Theories of Health Behavior

This video covers an overview of the Theories of Health Behavior. Health behavior is an individual-level effort to: prevent disease, prolong life, and promote the dimensions of health. Theories of health behavior, aimed at the individual level as well as the societal level, are useful for providing an understanding of health education. This video is a companion to Chapter 9 in the Public Health Epidemiology textbook by Crystel M. Harb, MPH published through Lulu Press @ https://www.lulu.com/search?adult_audience_rating=00&page=1&pageSize=10&q=crystel+harb+.

  1. I loved your work! I've been trying to research for a video similar to yours that really educates the topics in this YouTube vid. 🙌Your vid is like the videos of this smart medical student Dr. Ethan. Ethan's demonstrations are knowledgable and he actually helped me a lot on diet. He is the most knowledgable Doctor in the UK and he teaches mental health.

    I suggest you check his YT out and give the Doctor a subscribe! ➡️ #DoctorEthanMedLife

  3. This video was very helpful! I liked how you explained everything in depth and gave examples, it helped me understand the models a lot better than reading about them! 🙂
