Health Belief Model Overview

The Health Belief Model identifies two main factors influencing the adoption of health behaviors: perceived susceptibility and perceived severity.
Perceived susceptibility refers to an individual's assessment of their risk of developing a health issue.
Perceived severity involves the belief about the seriousness of the health problem and its potential consequences.

Personal Health Threat Perception

One significant factor that impacts an individual's perception of personal health threat is perceived benefits of taking action. This involves beliefs about the effectiveness of the behavior in reducing health risks.

Influential Theories in Health Behavior

The Health Belief Model is based on earlier attitude theories that sought to explain why individuals decide to engage in specific health behaviors.

Focus of the Health Belief Model

The primary emphasis of the Health Belief Model is understanding and predicting individual health behaviors in relation to perceived threats and benefits, which can drive positive health actions.
