Document Summary

How do we engage people in technology of health care. Theory needs to be built upon evidence, and needs to be "testable" Role of theory is to simplify the complexiies of nature o.

Is a logical self-consistent model or framework for describing the behaviour of a related set of natural or social phenomena. Smokers are x% more likely to also drink. If we change x, then smokers will change. Evidence based approach to disseminaion and difusion of physical acivity intervenions o o o. Using rogers difusion of innovaions models (page s26 of overview model) Look at pathways to difusion on page s39. When people become consumers of an innovaion, they are "adopters" Risk takers, independent - always want to be irst. Do not want to be irst, but sill very interested.
