Health promotion is guided by various theories, frameworks, and models that aim to understand and influence health behaviors and outcomes, including the Health Belief Model, the Social Cognitive Theory, the Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change), the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Health Promotion Model, and ecological models. These frameworks often focus on individual beliefs and behaviors, but also consider interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy influences.
