Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial body of research has demonstrated the impact of health risk behaviors on physical and mental health. Self-report questionnaires are often utilized in the measurement of health risk behaviors in a variety of research contexts. Although a number of questionnaires have been developed to measure specific, individual behaviors, few attempts have been made to create a questionnaire that measures multiple health behaviors in the general adult population. The purpose of the present study was to develop the Health Risk Behaviors Inventory (HRBI), a brief questionnaire which evaluates 7 health risk behaviors (physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, inadequate sleep, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, illicit drug use, and risky sexual behaviors) over the past month. The pilot version of the HRBI was administered to 340 undergraduates to evaluate its reliability and validity with several validated health behavior questionnaires as well as a measure of physical and mental health (SF-36). Overall, these pilot data demonstrated good reliability and validity, providing support for the utility of the HRBI as a health behavior measure. Concurrently, interviews were conducted with 39 undergraduates in order to further inform the HRBI's content and format. Based on these pilot data, the HRBI items were modified to clarify the content and maximize the psychometric properties of the HRBI while creating a brief scale. The revised 28-item HRBI was then completed by another 335 undergraduates along with the additional health behavior questionnaires and the SF-36. These data revealed some substantial improvements in the sexual behavior subscale, but also revealed generally weaker reliability and validity in the revised HRBI compared to the pilot HRBI. Thus, further revisions are required to ensure an accurate and psychometrically sound assessment of health risk behaviors.

Download or read book Clinician s Handbook of Adult Behavioral Assessment written by Michel Hersen and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the vast amount of research related to behavioral assessment, it is difficult for clinicians to keep abreast of new developments. In recent years, there have been advances in assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning, treatment strategies for specific disorders, and considerations of new ethical and legal issues. Keeping track of advances requires monitoring diverse resources limited to specific disorders, many of which are theoretical rather than practical, or that offer clinical advice without providing the evidence base for treatment recommendations. This handbook was created to fill this gap, summarizing critical information for adult behavioral assessment. The Clinician’s Handbook of Adult Behavioral Assessment provides a single source for understanding new developments in this field, cutting across strategies, techniques, and disorders. Assessment strategies are presented in context with the research behind those strategies, along with discussions of clinical utility, and how assessment and conceptualization fit in with treatment planning. The volume is organized in three sections, beginning with general issues, followed by evaluations of specific disorders and problems, and closing with special issues. To ensure cross chapter consistency in the coverage of disorders, these chapters are formatted to contain an introduction, assessment strategies, research basis, clinical utility, conceptualization and treatment planning, a case study, and summary. Special issue coverage includes computerized assessment, evaluating older adults, behavioral neuropsychology, ethical-legal issues, work-related issues, and value change in adults with acquired disabilities. Suitable for beginning and established clinicians in practice, this handbook will provide a ready reference toward effective adult behavioral assessment.
