This assessment task will provide you with first-hand experience of health behaviour change by practicing  self-monitoring using a health behaviour change diary.  During the first face-to-face tutorial (week 2) you will explore examples of the types of behaviours you may  choose to monitor.   You will choose a health behaviour that you wish to change, and you will monitor this health behaviour  change from Week 2 until the end of Week 6.  In your Week 2 tutorial, you will:  • Identify your current baseline for the behaviour you plan to change (e.g. I currently drink 3 large   coffees per day).  • Develop a SMART health behaviour goal (e.g. reduce my current intake to drink one small coffee   per day).   • Develop an action plan, including SMART short term goals (e.g. each week I will reduce my   intake by half a cup of coffee per day, until I reach my goal of drinking one small coffee per day)  • When designing your plan include rewards for each goal (and ones that don’t counteract what you   have achieved).  • Identify potential barriers and possible enablers/social support which would help you achieve your   goal.   You will then:   • Complete a weekly diary in table format, monitoring your progress. Include any barriers and   enablers that were experienced.  • In your week 3 – 6 tutorials, discuss people’s progress towards their goal and provide feedback.   You will also discuss your progress and receive feedback.  • Explore and document your experience, including discussion of how it relates to the   Transtheoretical Model.  For your written assessment, you will include:  • An introduction, which will include:   o Your baseline behaviour   o   Your health behaviour goal and action plan   o   Discussion, with reference to best evidence, as to why your particular health behaviour   o change is required and is beneficial for health/quality of life   Your planned rewards   o   Any identified
