背景资料。在多重行为改变这一领域，理论化一直很匮乏。本文的目的是考察健康行为理论如何应用于日益增长的多重行为改变的研究领域。提出了将健康行为理论应用于多重行为改变的三种方法，包括搜索文献以寻找此类应用的潜在例子。这三种方法包括(1)行为改变原则方法；(2)全球健康/行为分类方法；(3)多行为方法。每种方法都被讨论和解释，并提供了这一新兴文献中的例子。这一领域的进一步研究有可能拓宽我们对多重行为和多重行为变化的理解。讨论了额外的理论检验和理论应用于干预的意义。(C)2007 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Background. There has been a dearth of theorizing in the area of multiple behavior change. The purpose of the current article was to examine how health behavior theory might be applied to the growing research terrain of multiple behavior change.Methods. Three approaches to applying health behavior theory to multiple behavior change are advanced, including searching the literature for potential examples of such applications.Results. These three approaches to multiple behavior change include (1) a behavior change principles approach; (2) a global health/behavioral category approach, and (3) a multiple behavioral approach. Each approach is discussed and explicated and examples from this emerging literature are provided.Conclusions. Further study in this area has the potential to broaden our understanding of multiple behaviors and multiple behavior change. Implications for additional theory-testing and application of theory to interventions are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
