Health models are developed as…
A means of explaining the concept of health and it’s relationship to people’s health decisions

- Developed in 1950s
Major components of Health Belief Model
- Perceived susceptibility
- Perceived severity
- Perceived benefits
- Perceived barriers
- Cues to action
- Self-efficacy
- Likelihood of an action being taken is driven by the positive difference between the perceived barriers and the perceived benefits
Perceived susceptibility
An individual’s subjective estimation of his or her own personal risk of developing a specific health problem
Perceived severity
Refers to an individual’s own personal judgement of how serious a health condition may be
Perceived susceptibility and perceived severity are often combined into….
Perceived threat
Perceived benefits
An individual’s estimation of how effective a health recommendation may be against removing a threat
Perceived barriers
An individual’s estimation of the obstacles to the performance of a health-related behavior
Cues to action
Strategies to activate one’s readiness for action
Self efficacy
Refer’s to one’s confidence in one’s own ability to take action
Health Promotion Model
- Pender
- 2002
- Derived from social learns theory (Section IV.C)
- Organized like the Health Belief Model
Health Promotion Model is based on the following premises:
- Health promotion is directed at increasing the level of well being and self actualization of an individual or group
- Health promoting behaviors are continuing activities that must be an integral part of an individual’s lifestyle
- Health promoting behaviors are viewed as proactive rather than reactive
Health Promotion Planning Model

PRECEDE Model consists of:
- Predisposing factors
- Reinforcing factors
- Enabling factors
Predisposing factors
- Attitudes
2. Knowledge
Reinforcing factors

2. Positive feedback
Enabling factors
Resources that facilitate or hinder performance of desired outcome
Health Promotion Planning a model considers multiple factors that shape health such as:

Basic principles of Harm Reduction Model
- Most people are competent to make informed decisions about health behaviors
- Needs are diverse, so it is better to offer numerous behaviors rather than one solution
- Incremental changes in steps will work better than making large, difficult changes
