  5. Individual Level of Influence • Knowledge, attitudes, skills • The individual is essential to behavior change • More effective when based on theory • Health Belief Model • Transtheoretical Model

  6. Interpersonal Level of Influence • Family, friends, social networks • Broad applicability in Environmental Health • Very relevant today

  7. Community Level of Influence • Groups & organizations • Community organizing & building • Marketing • Well suited for multi-level interventions
