ED 5303 KU Public Health Drug & Substance Abuse Research & Bibliography

• Follow the steps to complete Parts 1 and 2.

Part 1: Research and Annotated Bibliography

Step 1. conduct a search for three peer-reviewed articles related to your issue/problem and behavioral learning theory (classical and/or current).

Step 2. Begin development of an annotated bibliography by recording each article in APA format and writing a paragraph summarizing how the article relates behaviorism to the identified issue/problem. Include the annotated bibliography in your Module 2 submission. You will develop additional parts of the annotated bibliography in subsequent modules and submit a compilation of all entries in Module 5.

Part 2: Planning Document Development

Begin development of a planning document including the following steps:

Step 3. Begin the design of a health and wellness change initiative to address the issue/problem identified in Module 1, and consider the potential impact of behaviorism on the initiative. In a planning document you create:

• Relate the identified issue/problem and behavioral theory to the development of the health initiative.

Step 4. Identify a specific behavior related to the health and wellness issue or problem which can be at least partially be resolved through education. Analyze the specific behavior you would like to change in terms of antecedents (preceding circumstances)-behavior-consequences. Take a baseline measurement of the target behavior using a tool of your choice. Include the findings in the planning document.

Step 5. Suggest one or more potential strategies you might use to change the behavior. Be sure to address strategies based on the age-appropriateness and the specific developmental stage of your target population.

• What are the basic assumptions/principles of this theory relevant to your issue or problem/demographic needs?
• How will these strategies motivate and engage learners?

Step 6. In 1-2 paragraphs, summarize your potential strategies in the planning document. What are the strategies and their purposes? How can they be used to inform the target population?

Step 7. Submission: Submit this portion of your planning document in Module 2. You will continue work on the plan in subsequent modules and submit a compilation in Module 4
