Abstract
The health behavior selection process of young adolescents was explored using the grounded theory research method. Data were generated from in-depth interviews, field notes from school settings, and memos. A conceptual model was generated identifying 4 major categories: assessing/valuing, confirming, choosing, and safeguarding. The processes identified in the model offer the potential of developing new strategies for school nurses to influence health behavior outcomes among young adolescents.
