Project description:
Instructions:
The field of psychosocial epidemiology requires an understanding of independent, moderating, and dependent variables as they relate to health outcomes.
What makes this challenging is that these variables are often multifactorial in nature.
Using Figure 15-1 in your textbook as a guide (Friis and Sellers, 2009), develop a model that describes the independent, moderating and dependent psychosocial variables associated with a chronic health condition.
Make sure your answers are thorough, yet concise and that you support your responses with at least two (2) appropriately cited references (in addition to the article you choose to discuss). Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference.
