Study Notes
Health Belief Model (HBM)
- Developed by Irwin M. Rosenstock and Backer in the early 1950s to understand the failure of people to adopt disease prevention strategies or screening tests for early disease detection.
- A psychological health behavior change model that explains and predicts health-related behaviors.
Key Components of HBM
- Perceived Susceptibility: an individual's belief about their risk of developing a health problem.
- Perceived Severity: an individual's belief about the seriousness of the consequences of the health problem.
- Perceived Benefits: an individual's belief about the benefits of taking a preventive action.
- Perceived Barriers: an individual's perception of the obstacles that prevent them from taking a preventive action.
How HBM Works
- People are more likely to take action to prevent or control a health problem if they:
- Perceive themselves as susceptible to the health problem.
- Believe the consequences are serious.
- Believe that taking action would be beneficial.
- Perceive few barriers to taking action.
