    • Milio's Framework for Prevention: Expands on HBM by analyzing how social and environmental factors influence health choices.
    • Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model: Highlights individual characteristics, cognitions and situational influences on health promotion.
    • Lawrence Green's PRECEDE-PROCEED Model: A comprehensive framework for planning, implementing and evaluating health programs.
