Abstract

This applied paper is intended to serve as a “how to” guide for public health researchers, practitioners, and policy makers who are interested in building conceptual models to convey their ideas to diverse audiences. Conceptual models can provide a visual representation of specific research questions. They also can show key components of programs, practices, and policies designed to promote health. Conceptual models may provide improved guidance for prevention and intervention efforts if they are based on frameworks that integrate social ecological and biological influences on health and incorporate health equity and social justice principles. To enhance understanding and utilization of this guide, we provide examples of conceptual models developed by the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium. PLUS is a transdisciplinary U.S. scientific network established by the National Institutes of Health in 2015 to promote bladder health and prevent lower urinary tract symptoms, an emerging public health and prevention priority. The PLUS Research Consortium is developing conceptual models to guide its prevention research agenda. Research findings may in turn influence future public health practices and policies. This guide can assist others in framing diverse public health and prevention science issues in innovative, potentially transformative ways.

The authors acknowledge special contributions to featured conceptual models by the following PLUS Research Consortium members: Amanda Berry, Neill Epperson, Colleen Fitzgerald, Missy Lavender, Ariana Smith, and Beverly Williams. The authors also acknowledge the foundational work of Jo Anne Earp, Professor Emerita, and Susan T. Ennett, Professor, Department of Health Behavior, Gillings School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Dr. Earp and Dr. Ennett?s pioneering ?how to? guide for building conceptual models, published in 1991, inspired the present guide. In addition, the authors acknowledge Kenneth L. McLeroy, Professor Emeritus and retired Regents and Distinguished Professor, School of Public Health, Texas A&M University, for helpful discussion about manuscript content. Linda Brubaker currently receives editorial stipends from JAMA (Associate Editor), Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (Editor-in-Chief), and UpToDate (Section Editor). Cynthia S. Fok receives author royalties from UpToDate. Cora E. Lewis received grant support from Novo Nordisk (a pharmaceutical company that manufactures drugs to treat these conditions) for clinical trials in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ann Stapleton previously served on advisory boards related to urinary tract infection, GSK and Paratek. The remaining authors do not have any conflict of interest to disclose. This work of the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through cooperative agreements (Grant Numbers U01DK106786, U01DK106853, U01DK106858, U01D K106898, U01DK106893, U01DK106827, U01DK106908, U01DK 106892).
