Assignment Instructions/ Description
Topic Proposal Directions This assignment is to serve as a starter/foundation for the Theory paper. The purpose of this assignment is to get you started on the theory paper and to make sure you have a topic that will serve well for the theory paper. The topic you use for this assignment will be the same for the theory paper. The topic proposal is an outline of the theory paper and an annotated bibliography. For the theory paper you will write about how one health behavior (for example: condom use), has been explained and/or modified using two behavioral theories or concepts. The theory paper should focus on how the chosen theories have been used to examine or intervene upon the chosen behavior, and include an assessment of how well each theory fit the behavior. For this assignment (and the theory paper) please refrain from choosing the Social Ecological Framework. You will find Theory at a Glance ( Theory at a Glance Link, http://www.sbccimplementationkits.org/demandrmnch/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Theory-at-a-Glance-A-Guide-For-Health-Promotion-Practice.pdf) very helpful for this assignment and the theory paper. In addition, chapter 4 of the textbook. For this assignment (Topic Proposal Directions), briefly explain why changing the behavior is important, and describe how the paper will be organized the paper (create an outline for the paper). In addition, conduct a preliminary literature search and identify references for at least 4 peer-reviewed articles (different than those assigned for this course) that you plan on citing in your paper to demonstrate that there is adequate published literature on this topic. Most of the literature that you cite in your paper should be either empirical studies or literature reviews that are published as journal articles. You may cite electronic sources, but please do not have these represent the majority of the literature cited.
