Module 6: Negative Health Behaviors<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/p>\n
In this module, we will take a look at addiction and other negative health behaviors. We will examine the biological, social, cultural, and psychological risk factors for the development of addictions.<\/p>\n
The Biopsychosocial Model of Negative Health Behaviors and Addiction helps us explore the many factors that are related to addiction. For example, biological factors can include genetic predisposition, psychological factors can include attention deficit disorder and coping skills, and social factors might include childhood home environment, as well as culture.<\/p>\n
Module 6 Notes<\/p>\n
Addiction & Health<\/p>\n
In this module, we explore the causes and risk factors for addiction, and we take a look at some strategies for overcoming addictions and negative health behaviors.<\/p>\n
Pleasure, Addiction, and Substance Dependence<\/p>\n
Addiction is now viewed as behavioral disorder resulting from a combination of biology, psychology, social environment and culture variables.\u00a0Brehm defines addiction as \u201cthe compulsive use of a substance or performance of an activity even though the person experiencing the addiction knows it is causing or is likely to cause harm\u201d (2014, p. 371). No longer considered synonymous with physiological dependence on a substance, an Individuals can become addicted to work, the internet, exercise, and unhealthy relationships (Jahr.\u00a0Addictive behavior:<\/p>\n
Is repeated involvement despite substantial harm.<\/p>\n
Leads to substantial harm.<\/p>\n
Continues because it was, or is, pleasurable and\/or valuable.\u00a0 (Horvath, et al, 2019, p 39)<\/p>\n
Reward pathways are comprised of the anatomical structures and physiological reactions that are involved in experiencing pleasure. It is interesting to note that these pathways are activated by different stimuli depending on the person. For example, your friend may derive pleasure from drinking coffee, while you are turned off by the taste and smell of this drink.<\/p>\n
Factors That Influence Risk of Developing Negative Health Behaviors<\/p>\n
Preventing and Changing Negative Health Behaviors<\/p>\n
Prevention is often seen as the most effective means for dealing with addictions in society. Health educators play a vital role in this area. I\u2019m sure if you looked around your own community, and daily environments you will see many examples of efforts, effective and ineffective, being made through health education initiatives.<\/p>\n
Behavior change programs take many forms. 12-step programs are one popular option to help with overcoming addictions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, coping skills training, and self-help programs can also be useful.<\/p>\n
Behavior-Change Applications for Negative Health Behaviors<\/p>\n
These applications vary based on the type of addiction. The textbook suggests helpful strategies for dealing with alcohol abuse, tobacco use, weight control, eating disorders, and excessive exercise.<\/p>\n
