Theories and Planning Models

How can the Socio-ecological Approach be applied to other theories?

While the Socio-Ecological approach(the ecological perspective uses the multiple levels of influence and reciporcal causation, below in each bubble is demonstrated example of how SEA are applied to other theories using the mentions concepts.

What approaches or promotion can come out of PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Model?

Approaches to PRECEDE-PROCEED

The approaches to the Precede-proceed planing consist of (1) planninng and (2) Evaluation.

The Model consists of eight phases. The first four phases are the Precede portion and the second four consist of the Proceed portion. The Model consists of eight phases. The first four phases are the Precede portion and the second four consist of the Proceed portion (Cottrell et al, 2018, p. 115).

During each step of Precede-Proceed planning model or PPM, there are different Diagnostic elements that will need to take place:

1. Social assessment

2. Epidemiological Assessment

3. Behavioral/Environmental Assessment

4. Educational/Ecological Assessment

5.Administrative/policy Assessment

What is the Importance of the PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Model?

The importance of the Precede-Proceed Planning model helps practitioners to develop programs, step by step by integrating multiple theories to explain and address the health problem (Cottrell et al., 2018, p. 115).

Importance and Visual of the PRECEDE- PROCEED Planning Model

More specifically, the Precede-Proceed planning model is a unique way of solving health issues by combining the two elements of the model.

Each element consists of 4 different steps in order to research the desired outcome (NIH, 2005, p. 3). The first four phases are the Precede component and the second set of four phases ar the Proceed.

Scenrio of PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Model

As Administration approves the curriculm withn schools to start infleuences students and parents or gardians to begin other physical activties within their homes, the implementation is put into place for a period of time. ((Implementation)

In the first steps of the Precede portion of the model, to figure out why the small population in a rural area of Northern NY has such low rate of physical activity within their communities.

First, I would use the social assessment, i would perform interviews, data collections, and participant observations. observing school functions and staff interviews, and discuss with the parents the current participation in physical activity or sports for the community (Phase 1: Social Assessment).

The next step includes carrying out the plan or adding to the implementaton. For increasing participating in physical activity the students starts to introduce different functions att schools and nearby parks to involve the community to participate. There are fun runs, specific dog walks to raise money for other functions, roller blades group tours, bike tours, and other external professional that come to initiate the increase of participation for physical activity within the communities. ( Phase 6: Process Evaluation)

Following that step, I would use different data from other areas and compare to the population of Northern NY based on the average of participation of physical activity. Based on these results, i would strategize what the community is in need of in regards to implementing ways to increase physical activity within the community. (Phase 2; Epidemiological assessment)

Application of PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Model

Using the different strategies to promote physical activity which main source is through schools and families can giving the families and student reason behind why physical activitiy is important to living a quality life without diease or illness. To keep implementing different promotion strategies like creating different communal groups with different activities to try and get involved are way you can make an impact on indidivuals lives within this community or area. (Phase 7; Impact Evaluation).

The next step includes what kind of barriers block them reduce the participation levels of physical activity. This could include a variety factors such are cost barriers, distance, lack of resources, no local services, and low educational information on knowledge on the subject that is being influence in this area. (Phase 3; Behavioral and Environemental Assessment).

The last phase consist of the result of if the intervention or implementation had changed the behaviors, attitudes or beliefs of the individuala about physical activity. This can be measured through pre- and post interviews from pervious particiants. This also can be measured based on a epidemilogical view and seeing the rate of how many families with the near by school distrist participate in schedules weekly physical activities. (Phase 8: Outcome Evaluation)

In the fourth step of the Precede portion, is implementing new curriculm in schools, promoting clubs around town including youth and adult participation in order to change the behavior or even mindsets of individuals. There are many more ways to influene the areas idea of physical activity. Using social media or other things that individuals view on a daily basis to show them simply having more movement throughout your day can be just as abenefical as exercising in order to reduce the risk of disease or death. (Phase 4: Educational and Ecological Assessment).

Some souces refer to the last steps as Administravtive and Policy Diagnosis9 Phase 4.a). For my example, I would present a implementation in embedding different currciulm for schools to promote different strategies of physical activitiy for students and parents. Also posible entering new ways to promote physical activitiy with simple examples such as taking a walk, moving the grass, sholving the drive way, doing house chores. This can be easily be a simple change as long as the efforts are applied.
