Behavior Change Plan
Describe how biological factors (at least 1) will influence the change in behavior.
Describe how psychological factors (at least 1) will influence the change in behavior.
Describe how social factors (at least 1) will influence the change in behavior.
Describe the overall plan you recommend to change the person’s behavior.  Be sure to include your justification for using this plan.  Be sure to include:  a measureable goal, who is involved, resources needed, length of time, and steps/timeline (if appropriate).  The possibilities are endless and can go outside the learning of this course.  This is just how you would need to think about behavior change in the real world.  Consider 12-step programs, pharmaceuticals, social support programs, apps, etc.  Remember that your justification/evidence for why your plan is effective is just as important as the plan itself.
