applying the reasoned action approach to Understanding Health protection and Health risk behaviors
Social Science & Medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Mark Conner, Rosemary R. C. Mceachan, Rebecca Lawton, Peter GardnerAbstract:Abstract Rationale The Reasoned Action Approach (RAA) developed out of the Theory of Reasoned Action and Theory of Planned Behavior but has not yet been widely applied to Understanding Health behaviors. The present research employed the RAA in a prospective design to test predictions of intention and action for groups of protection and risk behaviors separately in the same sample. Objective To test the RAA for Health protection and risk behaviors. Method Measures of RAA components plus past behavior were taken in relation to eight protection and six risk behaviors in 385 adults. Self-reported behavior was assessed one month later. Results Multi-level modelling showed instrumental attitude, experiential attitude, descriptive norms, capacity and past behavior were significant positive predictors of intentions to engage in protection or risk behaviors. Injunctive norms were only significant predictors of intention in protection behaviors. Autonomy was a significant positive predictor of intentions in protection behaviors and a negative predictor in risk behaviors (the latter relationship became non-significant when controlling for past behavior). Multi-level modelling showed that intention, capacity, and past behavior were significant positive predictors of action for both protection and risk behaviors. Experiential attitude and descriptive norm were additional significant positive predictors of risk behaviors. Conclusion The RAA has utility in predicting both protection and risk Health behaviors although the power of predictors may vary across these types of Health behavior.

Understanding Health Care Reform
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1995Co-Authors: William J. BicknellAbstract:Understanding Health Care Reform is notlast year's book. Professor Marmor has assembled a lucid, readable, and relevant series of essays that fully meet the promise of the foreword to help the reader "understand the dynamics of American medicine, the political constraints that shape our policies and the lessons that comparative study can offer." The book was published when optimism about US Health care reform was still running high and was clearly intended to illuminate the 1994 national Health care debate. However,Understanding Health Care Reformis perhaps more relevant and valuable for the inevitable work on reform that is still before the American people and their institutions of government. Marmor helps the reader put the failures of 1994 into historical perspective, to better understand what went wrong, and to comprehend central process and substantive issues that must be handled with greater sophistication if future national Health policy discussions are
