Such dialogue is a vital, if not a sufficient, precondition for health-enhancing behaviour change.
All resources are designed to enhance behaviour change with relevant, easy to understand information regarding physical activity and healthy eating.
Integrated Behaviour Change Communication This training is a part of "Creative Connection", a pilot initiative to increase awareness of some key child development issues and enhance behaviour change among school children.
Odds ratios for being comparatively optimistic about toothdecay if engaged in health enhancing behaviour was 2.4 (95% CI, 1.5 3.9) for men and 1.1 (95% CI 0.8 1.8) for women.
Mass media campaigns target attitudes by providing information about the positive benefits of health enhancing behaviour and/or the negative costs of health threats.
Symbolic social exclusion can limit health enhancing behaviour through reducing a person's feelings of self-adequacy and self-control (Evans and Stoddart 1990).
Table 2 depicts Pearson's correlation coefficients among comparative risk judgements for gum disease, toothdecay and tooth loss and personal risk experience in terms of self-reported health enhancing behaviour, health detrimental behaviour, health status and satisfaction with teeth.
The activities included in the two factors were added into two sum scores: "health enhancing behaviour" (Mean = 30, SD 2.4, range 4 20, Cronbach's alpha =.45) and health detrimental behaviour (Mean = 15.5, SD= 2.4, range = 4 20, Cronbach's alpha.60).
