Health belief model factor

Health belief model (HBM) emphasizes the importance of perception in decision-making, and there are many factors that affect perception. It is a theoretical model to explain health-related behaviors with social psychology.

The theory holds that belief is the basis for people to adopt healthy behavior. If people have beliefs related to disease and health, they will adopt healthy behaviors and change risky behaviors.

When people decide whether to take a certain healthy behavior, they should first judge the threat of disease, then judge the value of disease prevention, the expectation of taking healthy behavior to improve health status and the ability to overcome obstacles, and finally make a decision on whether to take healthy behavior.
