Describe the four beliefs that predict the adoption of a health-related behavior
In general, a person's likelihood of adopting a health-related behavior can be predicted by four beliefs:
Firstly, a person thinks his or her health is at risk, which is known as perceived susceptibility. Secondly, a person develops an idea of the perceived severity of the illness or condition, which may include pain, death, and/or negative consequences at work or home. Thirdly, a person must be able to identify the pros and cons, known as perceived benefits and perceived barriers. When he or she believes that the benefits of making a behavior change outweigh the negative aspects, it is probable that he or she will attempt to change the health behavior. And lastly, a person feels a need to take action due to external influences or reminders, which are known as cues to action.
