ecological models: application to physical activity
Definition
- Ecological models of health promotion emphasize that health behavior is influenced by a variety of variables operating at multiple levels—ranging from intrapersonal factors (e.g., biological, cognitive, motivational) and interpersonal factors (social norms, supports, and networks) to broader sociocultural and organizational influences and macrolevel policy and environmental influences. Ecological models imply that behavior change interventions are more likely to be effective if they operate on multiple levels: combining “downstream” individually oriented interventions with “mainstream” interventions that reach entire populations through work sites, health plans, schools and communities, and “upstream” policy and environmental changes that work at the broadest possible levels to strengthen the norms, supports, and opportunities for healthful behaviors.
