The Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior is designed to integrate conceptual frameworks for health behavior change and health services delivery. For 2 decades, the IMCHB has guided individual nurse practitioner-client encounters to promote risk reduction behaviors and provided a heuristic for health professional students. The model also has framed numerous community-based exploratory and descriptive research projects in preparation for community-based risk reduction behavioral interventions. More recently investigators use the model to frame their behavioral and biobehavioral intervention studies. This presentation will describe this model that incorporates psychological and sociological theories, assumptions, and usual methods. The 3 elements-assessment, interaction intervention, and outcomes-are operationalized based on the behavior, the population, and the modality of interaction component. Published intervention studies using the IMCHB have focused on selected populations, including minorities, seniors, workers, and rural residents. These studies will be presented according to type of population, intervention, and the outcomes reported. Adaptations of the IMCHB have allowed for multimodal interventions and for individual and group interaction, and the presentation will include analysis of 2 revisions of the IMCHB for risk reduction in sexual behavior (care management) and cardiovascular risk reduction (women's walking program). A brief description of the evolution of the two models will include the utility of the model in framing 2 very different tailored bio behavioral interventions for vulnerable women in high-risk communities.
