Keep in mind that some theories work best when used with individuals, others with small groups, and still others with entire communities. The basic tenants of theories vary also. As a health educator, you will need a firm knowledge of a variety of behavioral theories and planning models. You will also need to know how to assess individuals and groups with whom you will work. This knowledge will help you build successful health education and behavior change programs. = broad, brief statements of intent that provide focus or vision for planning.
