  1. a) What problems are often experienced by individuals and their families as a result of this illness (e.g. anxiety, depression, stigma, stress, non-adherence)?
  2. b) How can psychological theory be applied to describe the source of the problem and to treat the issue for the individual?
  3. i) You may choose the psychological theory/theories you wish to apply (e.g. stress theories, adherence theories, health promotion theories, and social norms theories, as long as they are discussed in the literature).
  4. c) What issues are discussed in the literature regarding this health issue? What research is currently being examined on the topic?
  5. d) How can health psychology/health psychologists aid individuals, families, and/or communities in coping with the illness?
