A.

Health Belief Model - Which component(s) of the Health Belief Model is featured in the
ad on slide #11? Be sure to include an explanation of your reasoning.
The component of the Health Belief Model that is featured on this advertisement is perceived
severity. The reason behind this is that the advertisement features large printed coughs and
states that the sooner the problem is found then the easier it is to treat. This shows that the
cough can likely have serious consequences as stated in perceived severity.

B. Transtheoretical Stages of Change Model - Which element(s) of the Transtheoretical

Stages of Change Model is featured in the ad on slide #22? Be sure to include an
explanation of your reasoning.
The element of the Transtheoretical Stages of Change model is the contemplation
stage. The reason behind this selection is because the ad states I know. This usually
means that person intends to take action just perhaps not at this very time. The ad says
that they know having chlamydia will affect them in the future which means the person is
thinking about the future but has not necessarily begun making the changes.
C. The text presents five ethical dilemmas (page 18-28). Following each dilemma, a
question of ethics is raised, followed by the application of the code of ethics and possible
solutions. Please read each dilemma and respond to each dilemma with at least one
additional solution.
Dilemma 1: An additional solution to this dilemma would have been for Mike and Jill to
have passed this opportunity to another health educator who would be more suited to
this migrant culture. Perhaps someone who had experience working with younger
children or someone who would be able to speak their first language. Being able to
communicate well is part of being a health educator. A different health educator who
spoke Spanish would likely be able to teach these children.
Dilemma 2: A solution to this dilemma would be to have workers in health go through a
process where they learn to properly share information. Mary most likely would have
changed her approach to teaching programs if she were taught different methods of
health education. She did not realize that her method of teaching was wrong and the
proper way to fix this problem is to teach her the right way despite her many years of
experience.
Dilemma 3: A solution to this dilemma would be for the overall program to include the
evaluation process. The cost of evaluation is high and if it is included into the program
then the goals of the program may be limited but a successful program needs to be
evaluated. Reaching smaller goals may seem unideal but if the program is successful

then a future program is more likely to succeed rather than wasting money on a program
which will not succeed.
Dilemma 4: A solution to this dilemma would be to possibly write a professional letter
giving them a different incentive to encourage health behaviors. The letter could also
include a polite message stating that their programs were not necessarily the most
ethical. The letter would have to be written by someone of higher standing within the
health department in order to bolster the statements and also to avoid any possible
conflict.
Dilemma 5: A solution to this dilemma would be for Mike to have talked things over with
the health director. Despite Dr. Nelsons desire to immunize many people to prevent a
possible epidemic it was wrong of him to with-hold information. This potentially harmful
information could possibly hurt one of the patients and caused his entire program to be
shut down. If Mike were to discuss the possible negative outcomes of withholding
information then Im sure Dr. Nelson would include all necessary information both good
and bad.
