  1. Goal Setting & Making Changes Create a society in which all people live long, healthy lives. Increase health literacy of the population. Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all.

  2. Stages of ChangeTheory #1Developed by Prochaska Precontemplation: No intention to take action. Contemplation:Intends to take action within the next 6 weeks. Preparation: Intends to take action within the month and has formulated a plan. Action:Changed behavior for fewer than 6 months. Maintenance: Has changed behavior for more than 6 months.

  3. Common statements made at each stage Precontemplation: “I don’t want to change.” Contemplation:“I’m thinking about …” Preparation: “I’m getting ready to …” Action:“For the last few months I’ve …” Maintenance: “… is a part of my normal every day routine now.”

  4. Factors that influence change

  5. H.E.L.P. According to a thirty-two year study of social networks recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine, people are more likely to become obese if a friend becomes obese. Similar relationships were found for adult siblings and spouses, though not to as great of degree. The same relationship was found in neighbors. Do you thing your friends hurt or help you maintain a healthy lifestyle?

  6. Self-Planning and Goal Setting • There is a 6-step program • Clarifying Reasons • Identifying Needs • Setting Personal Goals • Selecting Program Components • Writing your Plan • Evaluating your progress

  7. 1. Clarifying Reasons Knowing the general reasons for changing a behavior helps you determine the type of behavior change that is most important for you at a specific point of time. If losing weight is the reason for wanting to change behavior, altering eating and activity patterns will be the important.

  8. 2. Identifying Needs If you know your strengths and weaknesses, you can plan to build on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses.

  9. 3. Setting Personal Goals Goals are more specific than reasons. Establishing specific things that you want to accomplish can provide a basis for feedback that your program is working. Short Term Goals: Statements of intent to change within days or weeks. Long Term Goals: Statement of intent to change within months or years. Behavior Goals: Changing a lifestyle Outcome Goals: Changing a Standard

  10. 4. Selecting Program Components A personal plan should include the specific program component that will meet your needs and goals based on steps 1-3 Examples include meal plans for nutrition and specific activities for your physical activity plan.

  11. 5. Writing your Plan Once program components, such as meal plans for nutrition and specific activities for physical activity, have been determined, you should put your plan in writing. This establishes your intentions and increases your chances of adherence.

  12. 6. Evaluating Progress Once you have used your plan, you will know what works and what does not. Periodic self assessments can help modify the plan to make it better.
