Share the outcomes of the week and reflect on what were some challenges you experienced and the insights gained for each week. Discuss how different the outcomes were compared to the plan set in Qn 1a. Additional notes:
Question 1a (45 marks)
Think of a very specific lifestyle behaviour that you would like to change from any of these three categories:
1. Diet related (e.g., cutting out added sugar in beverages, increase at least one vegetable in each meal, etc.)
2. Physical activity related (e.g., walking extra 1000 steps each day, etc.)
3. Smoking / alcohol consumption (e.g., reducing from five sticks to two at the end of the three weeks)
Describe the behaviour chosen, explain the reason for the choice and develop the appropriate SMART goal and action plan set for the next three weeks. Take note that the goal you set should be something you can achieve within three weeks.
The action plans, which are usually progressive, should be planned week by week with the aim to achieve this goal. Ensure that your action plans are based on a behaviour change model or theory learnt in this module.
Question 1b (30 marks)
Share the outcomes of the week and reflect on what were some challenges you experienced and the insights gained for each week. Discuss how different the outcomes were compared to the plan set in Qn 1a.
Additional notes: This answer can be written in a table format.
Question 1c (20 marks)
Based on the model chosen and the actions plans, appraise its effectiveness in changing behaviour successfully.
