title: [Selection of target behaviors before planning health education objectives: application to prevention of STD in teenagers].
abstract: This article describes a semi-quantitative technique enabling the person responsible for the planning of a health education program to select the behaviour that should be targeted. The technique is adapted from Morley and used within Green's health education planning model. The relevant behaviours are ranked according to their importance and their changeability. A global weight is calculated for both by multiplying the weights attributed for each criterion of importance and changeability. This method is illustrated by an application for sexually transmitted diseases in teenagers. Calculations are made both for younger and older teenagers.
