Such topics to be covered in this session are perceptual mapping analyses and a comparison of coding methods commonly used in qualitative research.
Session Objectives: At the end of the session, the participant will be able to: (1) Describe the utility of using theory in developing health communication and health behavior interventions; (2) Understand innovative methods of creating and analyzing data for health behavior research; (3) list key theoretical constructs of three social influence models
