The health belief model focuses on how beliefs influence health behaviors.
The health belief model (HBM) focuses on a person's perception of their susceptibility to, the severity of, and the benefits of taking action to prevent a disease.
For example, in relation to COVID-19, individuals who believe they are at high risk of contracting the virus (perceived susceptibility), understand the severe health consequences of the disease (perceived severity), and see the benefits of following preventive measures like wearing masks and social distancing (perceived benefits), are more likely to take preventive actions.
The HBM is a valuable tool in understanding how people's beliefs influence their health behaviors, aiding in designing effective health education and promotion strategies.
