Study Notes
Health Belief Model (HBM)
- Developed in the early 1950s by social scientists at the U.S. Public Health Service to understand the failure of people to adopt disease prevention strategies or screening tests for early disease detection.
- Proposed by Irwin M. Rosenstock and Backer.
Key Components of HBM
- Perceived Susceptibility: an individual's belief about their risk of developing a health problem.
- Perceived Severity: the belief about the seriousness of the consequences of the health problem.
- Perceived Benefits: the belief about the benefits of taking a preventive action.
- Perceived Barriers: the belief about the obstacles to taking a preventive action.
Principles of HBM
- People are more likely to take action to prevent or control a health problem if they:
- Perceive themselves as susceptible to the problem.
- Believe the consequences are serious.
- Believe that taking action would be beneficial.
- Perceive few barriers to taking action.
