You’ve heard of starter homes? Well, this is your starter theory: the Health Belief Model. We take a look at what has made this grandaddy of all health behavior frameworks so popular and what you need to know about some of its key components.
We’ll also talk about the limitations that may make you want to move beyond it as you become more fluent with other theories and frameworks. Plus: you can download a free bonus worksheet on the Health Belief Model at www.HealthCommCentral.com/HBM.
