Dear Dr Sharma:

I regret to inform you that our reviewers have now considered your paper but unfortunately feel it unsuitable for publication in American Journal of Health Education.   For your information I attach the reviewer comments at the bottom of this email.  I hope you will find them to be constructive and helpful.  You are of course now free to submit the paper elsewhere should you choose to do so.

Thank you for considering American Journal of Health Education. I hope the outcome of this specific submission will not discourage you from the submission of future manuscripts.

Sincerely,
jim eddy

Reviewer(s)' Comments to Author:

Reviewer: 1

Comments to the Author
This paper is not suitable for publication. It provides outdated information regarding traditional models of behavior changes. Much information is inaccurate and unscientific. References are outdated. The Integrated Behavioral Model is stated incorrectly. Words are misspelled, sentences are grammatically incorrect.

Comments to the Author
AJHE 2015-0065

The manuscript is not ready for publication in the American Journal of Health Education.  The author does not build on the literature that highlights the application and success of theory based research but rather only highlights limitations of selected health behavior theory.  Some balance is needed here.  The literature cited is dated.  The author does not present a cogent argument for a new theory that builds on previous research

 

My Reflection:

 

ARE THESE USEFUL? ARE THESE VALUABLE? ARE THESE HELPFUL?

Comments from Professor Lawrence Green on an earlier incomplete draft:

Dear Dr. Sharma,

 

From a quick reading, which might be all I can offer in the next few weeks, I’m impressed with your encompassing and integrating of psychological theories pertaining to health education, and I appreciate that you have included a place for environmental factors in general, but I am disappointed if your book does not acknowledge the debt health education owes to theories of sociology, anthropology and economics. I’m sharing this not with the entire AAHB listserve, but with a few colleagues who have given particular attention with me lately to this gap in the literature accounting for some major public health successes.

Comments from Professor Lawrence Green on Completed Manuscript:

 

Dear Professor Sharma,

 

I did see your online publication of the article for which I had provided a brief comment on what I think was an earlier, partial version. I have no objection to your posting my comment with the caveat that it was in response to a draft of one part of the manuscript (if I’m correct on that recollection). I might still get back to the online paper to offer a more general comment if I can find the time. My compliments on your good work. I’m impressed also with your enterprising approach to publishing on WebMed Central along with the reviewer critiques you got from the AJHE.

This is a well thought out research and it touches important constructs of health specific behavior theories. Dr. Sharma has demonstrated a very professional writing style that keeps the reader interested and his experience in this area of research is evident throughout the paper.  Dr. Sharma has done a great job in providing a strong basis for choice of constructs for his proposed model. The evaluation of theoretical components is very clear and I must say that criticism is very easy to comprehend.  This manuscript could be an excellent tool to learn development of health behavior theoretical model. However, as mentioned by Dr. Sharma, the utility of this theoretical model needs to be tested at both individual and population levels. I would like to request journal to figure out a way to put the connecting arrows in the figures; this will help in presenting how components relate to each other in this proposed theoretical model.

Thank you Dr. Nahar for your kind comments. I would like to invite you to test this theory for your research in  a behavior of your choice with a target population of your liking. If I can be of any assitance please let me know.

Dear readers,

 

We would like to share our paper which has been recently published in Health Promotion Perspectives (open access). This research is the first to test Multi-theory Model in the health behavior research area. We used this model to predict initiation and sustenance of physical activity behavior change among college students.
