Study Notes
Theoretical Models in Community Health Practice

- Health Belief Model (HBM): Predicts health-related behaviors based on individual perceptions of risk and benefits.
-
Key Terms in HBM:
- Demographic and Psychosocial Characteristics: Affect individual perceptions of health behaviors.
- Perceived Susceptibility: Individuals assessing their risk of health problems tend to adopt preventive behaviors.

- Secondary Prevention: Involves early detection and treatment to slow disease progression and encourage strategies that prevent recurrence.
- Tertiary Prevention: Aims to manage long-term health issues, improving quality of life and functional ability.
