Program Planning Model The Multilevel Approach to Community Health (MATCH) model is an ideal fit for the program as it addresses the interaction between individuals and their environment. An ecological perspective explains that many different factors can influence an individual’s health decisions and this model explains the effect our surroundings have on our overall health. Also, the MATCH model is ideally utilized when risk factors are generally known. Because we know the risk of complication from GDM can be reduced through diet, exercise, and blood sugar maintenance, this model explains how one’s environment can influence those factors. The MATCH model consists of five comprehensive phases that guide the program from planning …show more content…

Health belief model suggests that lifestyle changes are influenced by people’s perceived severity, threat, benefit, barriers, and self-efficacy (Kaiser et al., 2017). For the GDM prevention program, this model is best used because it can evaluate all mother’s perspective on GDM and identify versatile factors that can help contribute to behavior change. Due to lack of knowledge and healthy choices, women with GDM during pregnancy are at a high risk of obtaining type 2 diabetes in the future. Before joining this program, these women’s lifestyle and habits can cause psychological issues such as depression, low self-esteem, and guilt. However, once participants partake in this intervention program, women will be educated on the dangerous effect that GDM can cause upon their child and overall health. This will allow women to see this issue as potential health problem and require them to act to reduce their perceived threat. Through this program, women will acquire new skills to help manage and monitor their GDM. Additionally, soon to be mothers will gain new strategies to reduce their health condition through diet and exercise. These lifestyle changes improve the overall health of mothers and provide a new outlook from the benefits gained. Although behavior changes are hard to maintain in the long-term, by the end of the program mothers will gain enough confidence to overcome their obstacles and succeed in improving their

I attended the event titled Unnatural Causes Bad Sugar on Thursday, October 22 from 6 to 7 p.m. The event centered on the ways in which many factors influence people’s lives and significantly impact health. The first part of the event centered on watching a short video that focused on the damage to health that Native American tribes faced after they lost their water. There was a large increase in the amount of Native Americans who got diabetes and who were dying. It was thought that biology and genes were one of the main causes behind the increase in diabetes, but in reality there were many other factors. Geographic location, social and economic class status, and income level has an impact on a person’s health.

For the “Let’s Do This” program focused on reducing and controlling childhood obesity and adult onset of type II diabetes in Point Mar, an instructional strategy – lecture, quiz, games, and brain storming will be utilized. This is based on the Social Cognitive Theory applied to health behavior, which is an evidenced based approach (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). The reason for utilizing this strategy is that this approach is based on behavioral adaptations that will improve health within the community. In addition, the five key constructs of the social cognitive theory are; knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goal formation, and socio-structural factors (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). Another reason is that this strategy is a multi-level intervention approach that is aimed at the individual and his immediate social environment (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013), which plays a huge role in the incidence of Childhood Obesity in Vista County, which “Let’s Do This” is striving

Nearly one third of African American and Hispanic women delay prenatal care until after the fourth month or they do not seek any care because of sociodemographic (lack of health insurance, low education, lower socioeconomic status, young, and not married), structural (lack of transportation and inconvenient clinic hours), psychological (lack of support and depression), and cultural struggles (dissatisfied with treatment plan) (Cunningham & Zayas, 2002). Also delayed and inadequate use of prenatal care among African Americans has been shown as a risk factor for an increase in infant mortality, low birth weight, and prematurity among infants (Lu & Halfon, 2003). Research also shows that prenatal depression is linked with single mothers, a lack of social support, unplanned pregnancies and financial difficulties, which are factors being experienced by Courtney. Infants of depressed mothers also show signs of depression (Cunningham & Zayas, 2002). Little is known about the effects of smoking during pregnancy so it is hard to say what the effects of Courtney’s smoking of marijuana would be (Lu & Halfon, 2003).

The Biopsychosocial model (Suls & Rothman, 2004) is one of the earliest multi-dimensional models of the health field. This model demonstrates the interaction between biological and social factors in regard to disease analysis. It displays levels above and below a person arranged from global systems at the top and genetic systems at the bottom. In the Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health, Coreil (2010) describes how the biopsychosocial is more concerned with the biological systems within the human body and pays greater attention to this interplay. In the case study, Cockerham (2013) details how social conditions act as the ultimate causes of diabetes and diabetes related fatalities in the community of East Harlem.

Using the Health Belief Model, Kate has a low perceived susceptibility and low perceived severity. As Poudel, and Sumi (2017) study showed people tend to misjudge their own risk; therefore, providing accurate communication about risk has the potential to motivate patients to initiate and maintain behavior changes. In order to educate Kate, I must first see what her perceived susceptibility is. If she is not aware of her personal risk factors, my plan would be on educating her about them. If Kate is aware of the risk but does not have the confidence or believes the behavior change is overwhelming, my plan would be focused on ways to eliminate or reduce those perceived

The Health Field Model The Health Field Model (HFM) is the conceptual framework that is used by different health care organizations or in individual research projects to evaluate the prevalence, awareness and management of diseases in the community (Pittman, 2010). The HFM, a determinant health model is developed by Bob Evans and Greg Stoddart in 1990. The HFM provides a broad spectrum for understanding health, and the factors that interfere with, and influence the health of individuals in the community. There are features to put into consideration for, in determining the factors that affect many diseases; hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, or influence of health on a community (Kindig & McGinnis, 2007).
