This chapter reviews theoretical models that have guided thinking and research on health behavior change, providing a historical perspective on major developments in the field. Included in this overview are the Health Belief Model, Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior, Transtheoretical Model of Change, Social-Cognitive Models, Precaution-Adoption Process Model, and the Information–Motivation–Strategy Model. The contexts in which these models have been tested, along with their effectiveness as demonstrated by the empirical literature, are described. Examples for practical application are also provided, as are caveats and information about contexts in which these models (or portions thereof) are not well supported.Less

This chapter evaluates the application of three of the most widely used behavior modification theories in the design of an effective interactive behavior change technology (IBCT), a technological mans for improving self-care behavior of diabetes patients. These include the Social Cognitive Theory, the Transtheoretical Model, and the Health Belief Model. This chapter evaluates the specification applications of these theories in interactive health web sites, virtual community-based intervention, and ubiquitous computing. It also highlights the potential of IBCT as a supplemental resource that provides support for individual health actions, improving disease management, and in consequence, preventing long-term complications.Less
