Hey Y'all:
Hope you are feeling increasingly more comfortable with the course "mechanics." It’s really pretty simple to move about the readings and assignments, but if you do run into a snag, let me know. For the MOD 2 Assignment, you will choose a target and I will provide the topic, and the topic for this Assignment is "diabetes." The target can be any population you choose, just address the topic of diabetes for that target population.
Second week of MOD 2. Respond to at least three of your peers with a substantive contribution by asking questions and/or adding additional insight and resources. Submit a 3- to 4-page paper (not including title page and references) that includes the following:
· Title page

. In your own words, provide a
ief description of the Health Belief Model.
· Perceived Benefits and Perceived Ba
iers

Assignment: Applying the Health Belief Model to Populations
The Health Belief Model (HBM) has been used extensively to create effective health behavior change interventions and programs. The focus of the HBM is to describe how certain personal beliefs influence health behavior. Using the HBM constructs of perceived benefits, perceived ba
iers, perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, cues to action, modifying variables, and self-efficacy, you will apply the health belief model to a specific health topic.
For this Assignment, the topic will be assigned by your Instructor. However, you will select a target population from the populations provided in the Target Population document found in your Learning Resources.
To prepare:
· Review this module’s Resources.
· Visit the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research’s Social and Behavioral Theories website to review the constructs of the Health Belief Model and complete Exercise 1.
· Review the topic assigned to you by your Instructor. Please be sure to contact your Instructor if you have any questions.
· Select one target population from the populations provided in the Target Population document found in your Learning Resources.
· Select at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly articles related to your assigned topic and target population.
