Plan a health promotion program to increase the number of college students

Your first big task is to plan a health promotion program to increase the number of college students who get the flu shot.

Using the Health Belief Model*, identify 2 factors related to each of the following constructs that are specific to this population (college students):

Perceived Susceptibility

Perceived Severity

Perceived Benefits

Perceived Barriers

Cues to Action

Self-Efficacy

Once you have used a behavior theory to get a better understanding of WHY students might or might not get a flu shot, you decide to plan a health promotion program to encourage more students to get the flu shot.

Discuss two reasons why it is important to use a planning model when preparing to conduct a health promotion intervention.

If you were implementing a health promotion program to encourage more college students to get the flu shot, based on your assessments above, briefly describe at least 3 SPECIFIC actions/interventions your health promotion program might include.
