While all of these do not exist in each behavioral change, but there are specific principles that must be applied for the behavioral change to be effective and long lasting.
One population-based application of TTM is quitting smoking, which is difficult for anyone who smokes, just as most cessation models are difficult. Creating an effective way to quite smoking for entire populations would save lives and millions of dollars in health care costs around the world. The model would need to reach a large number of smokers, it would need to develop reports and manuals to help the smokers during the five stages of intervention, and it would have to include follow-up for those who needed more help with the cessation process. It would also require assessment to the general good of the population, and assess which treatment methods were more successful (reactive or proactive). The results in the study discussed indicate that smokers who initiated their own treatment,...
Black doctors treat most black patients, and these doctors may not be board certified as often as white doctors may. Ultimately, the research indicated that black patient health care is still less standardized and cohesive than white patient health care, and that racism still exists in the health care field, whether health care professionals acknowledge that racism or not. The basic truth is, many blacks are still lower on the economic scale, they live in poorer neighborhoods that are underserved by health care facilities, and that they stand a chance of less health care in many cases, such as heart attacks.
Leininger's Transcultural Theory and the Health Belief Model: A Synthetic Approach to the Problem of Geriatric Care Geriatric care is a challenge in most ERs today because this is where geriatrics expect to receive regular treatment.

Air Pollution The air that surrounds us is a mixture of 78% nitrogen; 21% oxygen; less than 1% of carbon dioxide, argon, and other gases; and varying amounts of water vapor. Any other particles, gases or unoriginal constituents hanging in the air which are not part of its original composition are called 'Pollutants' and this kind of air is called Polluted Air. Even inhaling small amounts of such air pollutants can
Regardless of age, the desire for freedom remained. It is known that older slaves sometimes aided younger slaves to escape. Some of the aged also escaped to freedom. In some instances masters did not pursue older slaves because of their lower economic value. However, this was not always the case, as some older escaped slaves were still valued, and were advertised in the newspapers. Some owners granted their older slaves
