The present investigation sought to determine if four health behaviors (i.e., exercise, fruit and vegetable intake, high fat food avoidance, and stress management) that are risk factors for chronic conditions were positively related to each other. The researcher explored individuals’ movement through the Transtheoretical Model’s stages of change. The sample consisted of 321 first-year college students from a mid-sized, Midwestern university. Most first-year students did not meet guidelines for all four of these health behaviors. Also, the majority of first-year students’ behaviors remained static over time. MHBC interventions that target exercise, fruit and vegetable intake, high fat food avoidance, and stress management are warranted for first-year college students, and they could reduce people’s risk of developing chronic conditions. 2010-05-20 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1274318001 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1274318001 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
