all of these worksheets has to be about High blood pressure
Modifying Factors:
Age and Gender
Perceived Susceptibility: Not
measured for this study as
all participants had
hypertension.
Perceived THREAT:
Threat to my well being if I don’t
control my hypertension
Perceived Severity: of
consequences of poor blood
pressure control (cause
complications, make me feel
uncomfortable., cause
heavy financial burden)
Perceived Benefits minus Perceived Barriers :
Knowledge of benefits of medication adherence
minus expense, of meds , complexity of
adherence, fear of side effects
Cues to action: Family reminders
to take meds, seeing TV
commercials about med
adherence, others around me
keeping their hypertension under
control
Behavior: Adherence
to hypertension
medication as
prescribed
Self Efficacy: Degree of
confidence that I can
comply, that I won’t
forget to take meds, that I
will continue taking even
if I feel better

Worksheet #5: My Social Network
Name
What constructs/characteristics of relationship from our social influences on health behavior
lecture do you see as most relevant–most impactful on_________________________________________
your personal health behaviors (positive
or negative). Use this graphic or create your own graphic depiction for example as showing
web of inter connections between dyads, groups, or bonding , bridging, and linking relationships
that impact a particular health behavior that you personally demonstrate.
YOU
Name _________________________________________
Social Network Analysis: Take some time to think about the relationships you have-those with
family and friends, teachers and classmates, sorority sisters and fraternity brothers, faith
community members, neighbors, healthcare providers. Make a list of as many relationships as
you can.
Describe your social network based on the following characteristics:
Density:
Homogeneity:
Geographic Dispersion:
1. Describe the dyadic characteristics between you and individuals in different “circles” of your
network:
Reciprocity:
Intensity:
Complexity:
Formality:
Directionality:
2. What type(s) of social support have you given to and/or received from individuals in different
“circles” in your social network? (e.g., emotional, instrumental, informational, appraisal)
3. Give examples of bonding, bridging, and linking relationships and explain how these relationships
impact selected of your health behaviors.
4. Describe how/if your social network changed during one or more stressful life events you’ve
experienced.
HW # 3 Trans-Theoretical Model
• Choose a health behavior that you want to help your partner (for
semester health project) change. Think about how the TransTheoretical Model could be used to help you analyze the individual’s
stage of readiness for change, level of self-efficacy for carrying out the
necessary behaviors especially when faced with obstacles to change,
the cognitive and behavioral processes that are likely to influence
their change behavior, and the decisional balance cognitions that
would lead them toward change or not changing. Communicate with
the person about what pros or cons to change would most influence
their decisional balance and what importance they put upon each pro
and con (give number rating). Think about what attitudes most need
to be targeted as barriers to change. See highly rated importance of
items under Current behavior (pros) and New Behavior (Cons). These
are the biggest barriers to change. What strategies would you use to
address these barriers?

Rate the relative importance of each to you. Based on your ratings, which would attitudes do you need to focus immediately if
you are to change?
(1) = slightly important
(2) = moderately important
(3) = very important
(4) = extremely important
