Division of Health Promotion, Graduate School of Public Health College of Health and Human Services, San Diego State University PH 661 Theoretical Foundations of Health Promotion Fall 2010 Class Schedule: Mondays, 10:00-12:40pm HT 022 Office hours: Office: HH 114E Tuesdays from 9:30-11:30am (except 8/31, 9/21, 9/28, 10/12, 10/19, 10/26); if you are not able to make it during my office hours or need to meet the week I do not have them, we can set up an individual appointment in my Sky Park office (see Blackboard for directions). Instructor: Elva M. Arredondo, PhD Assistant Professor, Division of Health Promotion San Diego State University, Graduate School of Public Health Primary telephone at BACH (Sky Park): 619-594-3481 Fax number: 619-594-2998 [email protected] Course Description & Goals Through interactive lectures, discussions of readings and case studies, the course will cover the theoretical underpinnings of health behavior and health promotion strategies. Factors related to the initiation, maintenance, and change of health behaviors will be reviewed in depth, and application of these principles to health promotion with individuals, groups and communities will be presented. Students will apply this knowledge to a specific health topic of interest, and in collaboration with group members, will provide a synthesized theoretical perspective on the health topic using the socio-ecologic framework. Each group will share their findings to the class in 15 minute presentations, along with an integrated paper, at the end of the course. Course Objectives & Teaching Methods The course is designed around three objectives and corresponding teaching and evaluation methods.

Midterm Exams 1 and 2 You will have two closed-book, in-class mid-term exams (see schedule). These exams are not cumulative, and will consist of multiple choice, short-answer and discussion questions, covering both lecture material and readings. 20 pts & 20 pts Students who believe that they have provided a correct answer and failed to receive adequate credit are required to prepare a two page typed explanation for each test item within one week of receipt of the exam grade. Credit will be provided for those written explanations that are judged correct. 2. Description of paper and 5 references 3. Abstraction 4. Individual paper 5. Feedback to other students about paper 6. Thesis topic exploration 7. Group presentation 8. Participation Total 5 pts 5 pts 15 pts 5 pts 10 15 pts 5 100 Extra credit (3 points added): Course grades will be assigned as follows based on total points accumulated for the semester: A AB+ B B- 96-100 90-95 87-89 84-86 80-83 C+ C CF 77-79 74-76 70-73 <70 Incomplete: Medical emergencies verified by practicing clinicians and limited other emergencies are the basis for an incomplete. Course Attendance Policy: Although, attendance is not mandatory, students are encouraged to attend all classes. Participation in classroom activities will serve as a record for attendance and the latter will be used as one method for generating the participation grade for the course. Absences for religious observances: By the end of the second week of classes, students should notify the instructor of planned absences for religious observances. The instructor will provide appropriate accommodations. Readings and Course Materials Required Textbook: Glanz, K., Rimer, B. K., & Viswanath, K. (2008). Health behavior and health education: Theory, research, and practice (4rd ed.). San Francisco, CA: Jossey Bass. Additional required readings and other resources: The articles that you will be asked to review will allow you to better understand how these theories are being used in the field of public health. Some articles are older as they represent CLASSIC references that you should know about. All articles are posted on blackboard: blackboard.sdsu.edu. 2 Other Administrative Issues Academic Integrity Academic dishonesty is an affront to the integrity of scholarship at SDSU and a threat to the quality of learning.

Competencies: Upon graduation a student with an MPH should be able to… 1. Identify basic theories, concepts and models from a range of social and behavioral disciplines that are used in public health research and practice. 2. Identify the causes of social and behavioral factors that affect health of individuals and populations. 3. Identify individual, organizational and community concerns, assets, resources and deficits for social and behavioral science interventions. 4. Identify critical stakeholders for the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health programs, policies and interventions. 5. Describe steps and procedures for the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health programs, policies and interventions. 6. Describe the role of social and community factors in both the onset and solution of public health problems. 7. Describe the merits of social and behavioral science interventions and policies. 8. Apply evidence-based approaches in the development and evaluation of social and behavioral science interventions. 9. Apply ethical principles to public health program planning, implementation and evaluation. 10. Specify multiple targets and levels of intervention for social and behavioral science programs and/or policies. 5 PH 661, Fall 2010 Class Assignments Overall Objective: Integrate existing and new knowledge and skills in health promotion theory in a health topic of interest, and combine this with information from other students using the socio-ecological framework. The Methods: You will be assigned to one of several groups based on your identified health topic preferences. Individually, you will work on several assignments that will compliment each other and inform development of the final group presentation and paper. Assignments 1. Description of paper and 5 scientific references 2. Abstraction table due 3. 1st Draft of individual paper due 4. Feedback to students 5. Final individual paper due 6. Thesis topic paper 7. Group presentation Extra credit: Will involve writing an article for SDPRC (see Blackboard) or a 3 page paper describing why theory is important. The SDPRC article can be submitted throughout the semester and the 3 page paper will be due Nov. 30th, 2010. Details of Methods 1. Description of The purpose of this assignment is to help you not procrastinate and to paper and at least 5 begin determining whether there is sufficient information in the references literature to support your research question. You feel better about your final product the more time you mull over the issues and put your ideas Points: 5 points on paper. SEE BELOW UNDER INDIVIDUAL PAPER Your description is limited to 250 words, 12 pt font size, typed double space with 1 inch margins. Your references must be formatted in APA or AMA manual of style. Please see Blackboard site for guidelines or obtain a copy of the reference guides in the library. Descriptions that do not adhere to these guidelines will be returned ungraded. 2. Abstraction table The purpose of this assignment is to help you learn how to critically evaluate the application of your theory in your health topic. Points: 5 points You are expected to complete the grid for at least 5 papers that describe the application of your theory(ies) in your selected health topic. See grid for information about what to include in your synthesis. 3.&5.Individual paper Points: 15 points Content Each student will prepare a 7 page paper demonstrating the application of a theory or theories to his/her health topic. This assignment will 6 eventually fold into the group presentation wherein group members will demonstrate the application of a theory or set of theories at one level of the Socio-ecologic framework across various health topics. Here is an example: Transtheoretical Model Group member 1: Application of TTM in adolescent condom use Group member 2: Application of TTM in childhood obesity prevention Group member 3: Application of TTM in smoking cessation 4.Constructive feedback to other students of their paper Points: 5 points 6.Thesis topic paper Points: 10 points Format o 7 pages excluding 150-word abstract and references o A minimum of 10 scientific references o 1-inch margins, 12-point font (preferably Times-New Roman) o APA or AMA-style formatting for paper sections and references in the text and reference section o Papers that do not adhere to these guidelines will be returned ungraded. Criteria o Are the investigators applying the theory properly (based on Noar and Zimmerman’s critique)? Why or why not? o Are they testing a theory? If so, are they examining all of the constructs of the theory? Why or why not? o If you are reviewing a topic that has limited studies applying the theory, discuss how you would apply a particular theory. o If you are reviewing an intervention, are the authors using the theory to inform the intervention and applying it? o The first two paragraphs should describe the theory and the rest of the paper should be a critique. o No two people should evaluate the same theory and health topic unless approved by the instructor o Review only scientific studies (no reviews) Written feedback: Maximum 1 page single spaced on: Write a one page bulleted paper that outlines the strengths and limitations of the paper (it can be bulleted). When you evaluate these aspects, please consider the following: Is the student taking into account the criteria above? Is the paper well written? Does the student provide clear examples? Is the statement backed with justification? Also, consider offering guidance for where the student might find resources and ask for more information on a point that is not clear. Bring two copies for the students to review; no need to upload your feedback in blackboard. Meet with 3 faculty members/organizational leaders/staff to discuss the possibility of doing a thesis with their project (or independently). Write a one page paper describing the following: 1) Who you met/talked with (date), 2) Possible thesis opportunities, and 3) plan to follow up. You 7 7.Group presentation Points: 15 points should meet/discuss this with your academic advisor. At the bottom of the page, write 2-3 sentences describing the thesis plan that you are likely to pursue and the theory you are considering (and why). Each group will prepare a presentation outlining what they learned about the theory(ies) from the various perspectives. Presentations will occur on the last day of class. The format and content will be based on your creativity, what you found in the literature, and what you deem most relevant for your target population. Additional details will be provided over the course of the semester. The group presentations will be approximately 20 minutes each. 8 Note: Please read the articles and chapters prior to coming to class. Some of the readings may change from this list, but the final set will be posted in blackboard the week prior to when they are due.
