Between 2004 and 2007, the National Institutes of Health conducted a STEP study.The STEP Study is the name of a clinical trial to test an experimental human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine that aimed to stimulate production of immune system T cells that can kill HIV-infected cells. The study enrolled 3,000 participants at sites in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the United States.On the basis of its first evaluation of vaccine efficacy, the findings were as follows:There were 24 cases of HIV infection among the 741 volunteers who received at least one dose of the investigational vaccine.There were 21 cases of HIV infection among the 762 volunteers who were vaccinated with a placebo.In volunteers who received at least two vaccinations:There were 19 cases of HIV infection among the 672 volunteers who received the investigational vaccine.There were 11 cases of HIV infection among the 691 volunteers who received the placebo.The investigators of the vaccine trials have decided to cease immunizations and are contacting study volunteers to inform them of the developments.Prior to beginning this study, how would you have described the risks and benefits of the study to participants? Share your thoughts and discuss the ethical issues surrounding this study at the beginning and at the time the decision was made to terminate the study.Justify your response using examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two classmates, explaining whether you agree or disagree with their views.Reference:National Institutes of Health (2007).

It is used to understand and forecast changes in the actions of individuals. It is one of the most popular models of behavioral comprehension. My goal is to quit smoking Hookah, replacing smoking Hookah with nicotine replacement therapy product.  People will not change their health behaviors unless they believe that they are at risk. I feel I might be getting cancer in future because we have a cancer history family so, I used the health belief model to find the some kind of activity rather than smoking hookah.  My plan is by the end of the first week, I will decrease the number of hookah I am smoking from 5 per week to maximum of 2 or 3 per week. By the end of the second week, I will smoke 1 Hookah per week. For the first week I try to go running with my partner who help me to reduced smoking hookah, 20 minutes every day and going gym 3 times a week. For the second week I try to increase the time of running to 45 minutes and going gym with my partner who encourage me for running. Also, every time that I follow my plan and reduced smocking hookah by running I give my self protein shake as reward.
