BBH 101 Lesson 5 Practice Questions
and Correct Answers
Health Belief Model ✅- posits that there are several important factors that are involved
in determining whether or not someone is going to change their behavior in a healthy
way.
- a dynamic predictor of behavioral change that is successful in some circumstances. It
has been found in some studies to accurately predict things like healthy eating, safe sex
practices, using screening for diseases like cancer, and even getting dental checkups.
- However, other studies have found it to be less effective, and some research has
found that other factors (e.g. ethnicity) can override the importance of the components
of it in predicting behavior change. For these reasons, researchers have continued to
search for something that more accurately predicts behavior change.
Perceived threat ✅HBM
- determined by a combination of other factors: perceived susceptibility and perceived
severity
- if the individual finds the _____________________ to be large, he is more likely to
change his behavior to avoid the threat.
Perceived susceptibility ✅indicates how susceptible the individual believes they are to
the health ramifications of their behavior.

Perceived severity ✅refers to how severe the individual believes the consequences of
his behavior might be.
perceived benefits and barriers ✅This is analogous to a cost/benefit analysis, and a
person is more likely to engage in a change when the benefits outweigh the costs.
- For example, if someone is considering quitting smoking maybe they feel that a barrier
or cost would be that they would no longer be able to go outside to have a cigarette with
a co-worker during breaks at work. A benefit might be that they would be able to start
playing sports again because of their improved respiration.
cues to action ✅represent anything that might act as a cue or trigger to prompt
someone into action.
- This includes advice from friends and family, messages relayed through the media
(e.g. public service announcements), the experiencing of symptoms that are
concerning, seeing someone else with the disease that the behavior puts one at risk of,
