Climate change is a global issue that affect environments and human health in surprising ways. There are other global health issues such as, disease pandemics, infectious diseases like malaria cholera, et cetera. Some public health issues attempt to create conditions that lead to potentially fatal malnutrition and diarrhea in large populations; and increase the likelihood of heat waves and floods. The Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) is a convenient framework for assessing where a person is in the process of
Trans-theoretical Model of Change (TMC) has its limitation on individual’s behavior of change. Additionally, this stage model may not necessarily explain significant change process on how diabetic patients can stop eating high-fatty foods leading to diabetes. This is unlike the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM), which can explain design process for health promotion strategies to preventing diabetes. The idea that differentiates PAPM from other theories is its strengths and ability to precisely explain actions of health hazards, and the commencement of new or more complex defensive health
I have come across theoretical model known as the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) with its limited explanations and usage in predicting behaviors. The Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) is a convenient framework for assessing where a person is in the process of deciding to take action on health behavior (Corner & Sparks, 1996).
