Editing Behavior (section)

===Treatment approach===
Any interventions done are matched with the needs of each individual in an ethical and respected manner. [[Health belief model]] encourages increasing individuals' perceived susceptibility to negative health outcomes and making individuals aware of the severity of such negative health behavior outcomes. E.g. through health promotion messages. In addition, the health belief model suggests the need to focus on the benefits of health behaviors and the fact that barriers to action are easily overcome. The [[theory of planned behavior]] suggests using persuasive messages for tackling behavioral beliefs to increase the readiness to perform a behavior, called ''intentions''. The theory of planned behavior advocates the need to tackle normative beliefs and control beliefs in any attempt to change behavior. Challenging the normative beliefs is not enough but to follow through the ''intention'' with self-efficacy from individual's mastery in problem solving and task completion is important to bring about a positive change.<ref>{{cite journal|volume = 4|date= 1993 |issue= 1|title = Goal Achievement: The Role of Intentions|journal = European Review of Social Psychology |first = Peter M. |last =Gollwitzer|pages = 141–185|doi =10.1080/14792779343000059|url = http://www.socmot.uni-konstanz.de/sites/default/files/93_Gollwitzer_Goal_Achievement_neu.pdf}}</ref> Self efficacy is often cemented through standard persuasive techniques.
