Document Summary
Support for hbm: vaccinations, dental check-ups, medication compliance, breast self-examination, hiv testing, condom use. Lack of/inconsistent support for hbm: exercise [lt, diabetes care, teeth brushing. Less prevention and less linked to specific diseases long term behaviours. Perceived barriers and self-efficacy are the best predictors of health behaviours. Outlines specific variables that we could intervene on: if increasing perception of threat can make people participate in specific behaviour, we should be doing that. Good at : illness avoidance, acute vs. chronic behaviours, simple vs. complex behaviours. Susceptibility/severity constructs often do not behave according to model: in fact, they often behave the exact opposite, can be due to the idea of hopelessness. Ex. trying to get a high-risk man to begin exercising. Focuses primarily on intra-individual factors: does not explicitly account for emotions, social, and environmental factors. Theory of reasoned action [tra] and theory of planned behaviour [tpb]
