Social Ecological Model & COVID 19 Essay

The Social Ecological Model is a highly used model in public health and health promotion to explain the relationship between numerous factors (personal, social, cultural, and economic factors that influence health behavior (see the logic model of the Social Ecological Model in Blackboard). COVID-19 is a pandemic that is affecting many people, of different social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Using the Social Ecological Model, discuss how the five levels (i.e., intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, organizational, and public policy) may be influencing how people are responding in either a healthy or unhealthy way to the pandemic. How do the five different levels of the model influence things like COVID prevention, COVID treatment, government involvement, testing…etc. You should be able to find and read about COVID research and the number of different factors that are influencing people’s choices about how they are responding to the virus. In 3-5 pages, discuss the relationship between the Social Ecological Model and COVID-19. Make sure that you follow APA guidelines for your short 3-page review. This means including a title page, using proper citations throughout your paper, and including a reference page. If you are not familiar with APA guidelines, I would recommend reviewing the APA guideline manual, reading about them online and/or visiting the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab) website.
