However, it is essential that the creation of educational interventions is done using the appropriate tools and skills and that you carefully select and apply theories and models to attain the best results possible.
For this Assignment, you will use the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior to design an educational plan to counter a trend within your selected topic related to your assigned target.
To prepare:
· Download the Topics document found in your Learning Resources and select a topic from the list.
· Review the Learning Resources.
· Your Instructor will assign you a target population to focus on for this Assignment.

Using the Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behavior, design an educational plan to counter a trend within your assigned target population related to your selected topic.
Within your educational plan, be sure to respond to the following questions:
· What are the beliefs (list) of the target regarding the topic?
· What are the evaluations of those beliefs (identify list as important/not important)?
· What are the beliefs of the target population (subjective norm)?
