For your second essay, Please select a second (and DIFFERENT) question (do not answer the same question twice!) and write your response in the text box below. Please indicate which short answer (providing the number is fine) you are answering. You should answer one question in 41 and one in 42 – do not answer both here.  Question 1 You are trying to understand more about the multitude of risk & protective factors for binge drinking in college students. To do this, you have decided to investigate the different factors that exist at each level of McLeroy and colleague’s (1988) social ecological model. To start, list each level of the model (give the name of the level and a general definition of that level), and then give examples of potential risk & protective factors for binge drinking that would be located at that level. You are only required to list one risk or protective factor at each level.  Question 2 Research has shown that a large proportion of graduate students do not meet existing guidelines for physical activity. You decide to design an intervention to help graduate students increase their levels of physical activity, and decide to use the Theory of Reasoned Action to guide your intervention development. Using the model pictured below: name the concepts as they are labeled numerically (1-8) define each concept, and describe how each construct would apply within your intervention.   Question 3 You work at a local health department, and a recent survey has found that vaping among adolescents/young adults (AYA) is high, despite a comprehensive recent social media campaign to warn AYA about the health consequences of vaping. You have been asked to take the lead in designing a program to reduce vaping rates among AYA in your community and you decide to use the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) (5 steps) to guide your program development. Using this scenario, answer the following questions: Why is the TTM a good fit for this type of program, compared to other models/theories? In what stage(s) of the TTM are you most likely to find the majority of current AYA who vape, right now? Provide a brief justification for your choice.  To what stage do you want to move AYA, in order to decrease the number of AYA who vape? Provide a brief justification for your choice.  How would you move AYA to that stage (e.g., describe a change process and why it would likely be successful for moving AYA to this stage)?
