The Health Belief Model (HBM) is one of the most influential and widely used psychosocial models in health education. HBM postulates that an individual’s likelihood of adopting healthy behaviors is related to general “beliefs” by individuals about their personal risk for disease or injury, the perceived seriousness and threat of disease or injury, cues to action from their environment, and whether the benefits of taking preventive action outweigh the barriers. Altogether, the HBM says it can predict the likelihood of an individual “taking action” that will result in preventing future disease or injury. HBM has been applied to ALL types of health behavior.
