Health Risk Assessment and Health Promotion Contract

 

Complete your Health Risk Self-Assessment and Health Promotion Contract. [Note: Submission of this assignment is a requirement to pass this course. It is not optional. Your Journal and Journal Analysis are based on them]

 

For the Health Risk Self-Assessment, provide a summary of your current health status in each of the sections. Be sure to include any information regarding your health and lifestyle that might play a role in your overall wellness.

 

Create your Health Promotion Contract.

 

For each section of the HealthSelf-Assessment in the document below, provide a substantial summary of your current health status.In each section’s summary, be sure to include any information regarding your health and lifestyle that might play a role in your overall wellness.

 

You will contract to change/improve one health behavior during this course. Your HealthRisk Assessment can give you guidance on your choice, but ultimately the choice is yours.

 

Part of the contract requires you to evaluate your current “stage of change” according to the stages described by Zimmerman, Olsen, and Bosworth in the article, “A ‘Stages of Change’ Approach to Helping Patients Change Behavior.” (Stages of Change article.)

 

You will be tracking your progress toward the goals in your contract by completing journal entries for four weeks, then analyzing your motivation, successes, and obstacles in the final week of the course.

 

Objectives: 

 

•             Devise a personal Health Promotion contract to be used for the duration of the course.

 

•             Discuss the Stages of Change model in relation to health behavior changes for others and self.

 

Health Promotion Contract

 

Your goals should be written in SMART goal format, meaning they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Please go to this website for more detailed information on SMART goal format: Smart Goal Format article

 

Identify one goal to work toward during this course, knowing that you will be journaling about your progress in your journaling assignment, four times a week for four weeks.

 

An example of a goal that is NOT in SMART goal format is: I will walk more often.

 

An example of a properly formatted SMART goal is:

 

I, (student name), agree to walk for 30 minutes, three times a week by 8/3/20. (The date inserted here should be the Saturday of Module 4 for your course.)

 

Your SMART goal:

 

1.            I,                                                                                                                  [Name]

 

                agree to

 

                                by  [date:    [Saturdayof Module 4]

 

2.            I will use the following tools to monitor my progress:

 

The weekly assignment Journal and (at least one other tool)-

 

                [chart, graph, scales, etc., as appropriate for your goal]

 

3.            To reach my final goal I have devised the following schedule of goals and

 

rewards [Need two mini-goals and your final goal (as written above in #1) and also list rewards for all. Be sure that your mini goals match your final goal, meaning they are in alignment with and will help you achieve your final goal.As in the example goal of walking, then both mini goals should address walking – see highlighted area below].

 

You should have a total of 3 goals, 3 dates, and 3 rewards in the template below.
