This review identifies models that public health leaders have used to engage faith communities in three domains, the goals of such programs, and the degree to which they address the three domains that predict behavior according to the Theory of Planned Behavior: attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The three domains are genetic and genomic healthcare (GGH), vaccination, and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Genetic and genomic healthcare (GGH) and vaccination are two areas where religious beliefs play a particularly prominent role shaping perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs and where we have seen significant controversy based at least partially on religion in recent years. Although religiosity may be a factor in cancer screening behavior, it is not typically religiously controversial in the ways that vaccination and GGH are. |
