Applying Social Cognitive Theory to Environmental Health
Consider the following scenario: A mother is pressured by her children to start exercising every day because they had learned about the need for it in school. The mother usually tries to set an example for her children, but in this case her children are setting the example for her. This is an illustration of observational learning, where behaviors are acquired by seeing them in another person. Observational learning is one of the many useful concepts in the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) that apply directly to health behaviors.
For this Discussion, you apply the concepts of SCT to an environmental health behavior. You may choose one of these examples or your own topic: recycling; responsible energy use (e.g., compact fluorescent [CFL]/light-emitting diode [LED] lightbulbs, phantom loads); use of bottled water; use of alternative energy sources (e.g., wind, solar); consumption of locally grown food; reducing use of personal vehicles. Note also Table 5 in Theory at a Glance (NCI, 2005), which has some good examples of potential change strategies that could be applied to your topic.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post 4-5 pages of a description of a possible intervention to change an environment-related health behavior. Then, explain how you might apply SCT in the environmental health topic you selected. Finally, describe at least two intended results/outcomes of your intervention
The Trouble with Chicken
Nursing HomeworksEpidemiology week 5:2
Instructions
Watch the listed video in its entirety, them answer the five questions below:
5-2 Video – The Trouble with Chicken
Based on the information in this video, Meridian Diagnostics Inc. decided to produce an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA test kit) to screen for presence of Salmonella heidelberg, so patients who became sickened, could be diagnosed quickly and treated. Patient blood samples could be tested for presence of the S. heidelberg bacteria as opposed to other Genera and species of bacteria.
1. With this information, by constructing a 2-by-2 table, calculate the predictive-value positive and predictive-value negative of the EIA in a hypothetical population of 1,000,000 blood donors. Using a separate 2-by-2 table, calculate PVP and PVN for a population of 1000 ill patients. Assume that the actual prevalence of S. heidelberg among blood donors is 0.04% (0.0004) and that of people who ate Foster’s chicken is 10.0% (0.10).
2. Do you think that the EIA is a good screening test for the hospital? Why or why not?
3. Do you think that the EIA performs well enough to justify using the test outcomes in court cases? Why or why not?
4. If sensitivity and specificity remain constant, what is the relationship of prevalence to predictive-value positive and predictive-value negative?
Given their success with the EIA for S. heidelberg, Meridian Diagnostics decided to perfect their design, and use it to produce an EIA to test for E. coli O157 H7.
5. With this information, by constructing a 2-by-2 table, calculate the predictive-value positive and predictive-value negative of the EIA in a hypothetical population of 500,000 blood donors. Using a separate 2-by-2 table, calculate PVP and PVN for a population of 600 ill patients. Assume that the actual prevalence of E. coli among blood donors is 0.02% (0.0002) and that of people who ate Jack-In-the-Box hamburgers is 15.0% (0.15).
It is recommended that you construct your response in a Word document.

Examples of topics to write about
(Choose only one topic from the examples below OR choose a topic of your interest that pertains to this week’s material):
Enemies
Many people in Western cultures report not having an enemy. If someone doesn’t like someone else, they simply don’t hang around each other. However, in some situations and cultures there is less mobility, so enemy relationships can develop with repeated exposure to those people you don’t get along with. What situations might increase the likelihood of developing an enemy and how having an enemy might lead to violence or aggression? One example of a situation where enemies might form is the workplace, where you typically don’t get to choose your colleagues.
Cyberbullying
Discuss the impact of cyberbullying today. What experiences with cyberbullying have you encountered or heard about? What are some factors that make cyberbullying more damaging than face-to-face bullying? Discuss how cyberbullying can be reduced.
Sexual Jealousy
Discuss sexual jealousy. If a man is aggressive in a fit of jealousy, why do people excuse his behavior? Why do people get more lenient sentences for “crimes of passion” than for crimes which were premeditated? Is it excusable if a man becomes aggressive for jealous reasons because he cannot help himself? How does intention play a role in the U.S. judicial system, and does this excuse some types of violence? ***This can be adapted for sex or gender, however you perceive it.
Revenge
Discuss our tendency for revenge when we have been victims of aggression. How can this be an evolutionary adaptation? Maybe revenge lets others know that if they harm us, they will likely encounter harm themselves. What will it take to just turn the other cheek and not react?
