The new and updated edition of Health Behavior Change: Theories,
Methods and Interventions, provides a complete understanding of
health behavior change, from its theoretical building blocks to the
practical challenges of developing and testing an intervention.
Based on the latest evidence in the field, the authors present a
theory-driven, scientific approach to understanding and changing
health behaviors, examining the theories that explain health
behavior, the techniques that most effectively change health
behavior, and the methods and statistical approaches essential to
generating the underpinning evidence. This approach is presented in
the context of both health promoting behaviors such as healthy
eating, and health risk behaviors such as smoking, and considers
not only the role of individuals but also other important
influences on health behavior including the environment, policy,
and technology. Among other additions, the revised edition includes
the following features: More classic and modern theories explained
and critiqued Coverage of issues related to tackling COVID-19
through behavior change Consideration of the replicability crisis,
its causes, impact and potential solutions Wider coverage of
methods including different types of randomized trials, pilot
studies, feasibility studies, consensus methods, N-of-1 studies and
megastudies. Expanded critical skills toolkit Fostering a critical
perspective, the book includes features to enable readers to better
evaluate evidence and Burning Issue Boxes to highlight relevant,
topical issues in the field. It will be essential reading for
students and researchers of health psychology, public health and
social work, as well as any professional working in this important
area, particularly those tasked with reducing the high proportion
of individuals failing to meet national health behavior targets.
