Nutrition Education Plan Nutr 620 George Mason U
Section 2: Determinants, Theory and Objectives
This section builds on the behavior goals that you chose to focus on (from section 1).
This section of the term paper has three parts.
Part A: In this first part of the assignment you should identify and describe potential mediators of
the target behaviors or behavior change.
What are the person-related behavior mediators (determinants) of behavior and behavior
change? These include factors such as awareness of risk associated with behavior,
attitude and feelings towards behavior or behavior change, behavior preferences, selfefficacy
levels, skills, behavioral capabilities, social norms and peer pressure, cultural
beliefs and identities, etc.
What are the environmental factors (determinants) of behavior and that can potentially
mediate behavior change? These include factors such as social environment (eg. Family
members, friends, teachers,..), food and physical activity environment, community
environment, policy environments, economic environment, informational environment,
physical environment, etc.
Part A should be no more than four double-spaced typed pages (12 type font).
Part B: This part of the assignment focuses on your theoretical framework.
Based on your knowledge of your target audience what theory/mix of theories or models will
you use to help guide your nutrition education plan?
Please identify specific theory constructs that you will address through your plan.
Justify your choice of theory constructs
Provide a diagrammatic representation of your theory of choice or theoretical framework
Part B should be no more than four double-spaced typed pages (12 type font).
Part C: Outline your nutrition education general objectives.
Please ensure that the each general objective addresses a specific theory construct
identified above.
All objectives should meet the SMART objective criteria.
Each objective should be followed by a supporting (justification) paragraph. The
justification paragraph explains why you decided on the objective- rates, time, etc. Key
issues that should be included are: 1) why this objective over the others; 2) why the
amount of change expected, etc. You will rely on existing literature to support and justify
your choices.
Part C should be no more than four double-spaced pages.
