change and have no intention of doing anything
differently.

some changes. They recognise that there is a
problem and that they can and should do something

Health Service in order to understand the failure of
people to adopt disease prevention strategies or
screening tests for the early detection of disease.
• Later uses of HBM were for patients responses to
symptoms and compliance with medical treatments.

personal threat of an illness or disease together
with a persons belief in the effectiveness of the
recommended health behavior or action will predict
the likelihood the person will adopt the behavior.
