Methods: Sixteen subjects were recruited for each counseling category. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire. Statistical procedures included repeated measure analysis of variance and student t-test. Results: Both individual and group counseling format subjects had significantly higher TPB construct scores post-intervention. Group education subjects had significantly greater intentions as compared to the individual counseling category. However, there was no significant difference between the categories for PBC and all three subgroups of attitude. Conclusion: Overall improvements in behavioral constructs were observed following the participation in existing clinical and non-clinical setting group and individual interventions. 2011-06-03 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1305478049 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1305478049 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
