Social network analysis is a potentially useful reflective tool for public health practitioners to assess the overall composition of their networks; strengthen collaborations with other community partners, and evaluate network function. One of the natures of the relationship among individuals, their environments and health behaviors is the behavior exercise. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is identified as a comprehensive model for behavior exercise. In the TTM, […]
The social cognitive theory (SCT) is a type of interpersonal level approach that describes active and continues way of learning by observing others. It is grounded by many assumptions (Boston University School of Public Health, n.d.). I believed an environmental and interventional approach can be used to tackle the problem of waste scattering; it is […]
Environmental hazards are problems to our environment. Plastic and polythene waste products bring about continues environment pollution. Unfortunately, many developing countries have not looked at effective environmental policies regarding land pollution, particularly plastic and polythene waste. Plastic is a polymeric material—that is, a material whose molecules are very large, often resembling long chains made up […]

I think it is important to look at the availability of drinkable water. There can be available water, but the question is whether the water is safe from external or internal contaminants. Over the past several decades, human health protection for chemical contaminants in drinking water has been accomplished by the development of chemical-specific standards […]
A sound description of the environmental health problem of water scarcity is the extreme necessity of those populations in developing countries who lack portable water. In a nutshell, it is a way of sympathizing to those individuals with few to lack of drinkable or usable water to drink. Some communities may use any water to […]
In the United States, more than 80 percent of drivers and passengers wear seatbelts while driving, but in China, only between 20 and 30 percent of drivers and passengers wear their car seatbelts. Guangzhou had 9,930 traffic accidents in the 2006 (George Institute, 2007). China accounts for around 15% of the world’s total number […]
Mental health problem is one of the key factors leading to an increase in suicide. Both the WHO and the UN have recommended that member states should develop national suicide– prevention programs, where possible linked to other public health policies, and that they should establish national committees to coordinate the prevention strategies (Jenkins, 2002).

In today’s society and looking at the community health intervention, community changes as a result of human behaviors can be seen as either a tool or need process. The earlier we understand the important of such a need process the faster we can tackle human behaviors in public health. Several health circumstances begun with […]
