The Health Belief Model. (HBM)advances one of the most widely recognized theories in health promotion practice. It is comprised of six main constructs that explain or predict what motivates people to take action to prevent, screen for and control illness: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cue to action and self-efficacy (National Cancer Institute, 2005). This conceptual framework states that health behavior change is a function of both knowledge and motivation (National Cancer Institute, 2004). When applying HBM, it is assumed that individuals are more likely to take health-related action if they believe that they are susceptible to an illness, that the illness poses a serious risk, that there are various beneficial options available to them to reduce those risks, and that expected benefits outweigh barriers to action (Glanz, Rimer, Xxxxxxxxx & Orleans, 2008). In order to achieve the goals of increasing depression awareness and help-seeking behaviors among African American women, we will consider specific communication strategies to increase individual perceptions of susceptibility to depression, decrease the psychological and cultural barriers to help-seeking, and increase the perceived benefits of help-seeking.

The Health Belief Model. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a theory developed by social psychologists in the 1950s to explain why people were not participating in programs to prevent and detect disease (Glanz, Rimer, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2008). HBM helps to predict why people will take action to prevent, screen for, or control illnesses (Xxxxx et al., 2008). HBM shows that people will take action regarding their health if they believe they are susceptible to a disease (perceived susceptibility), if they believe the disease has dire consequences (perceived severity), if they believe there is a way to prevent the disease (perceived benefits), if they see the benefits of taking action outweigh the costs (perceived barriers), if there are strategies that can prepare them for action (cue to action), and if they have the confidence to take that action (self-efficacy) (Xxxxx et al., 2008). All of these constructs come together to hopefully modify an individual’s behavior for the better. Table 1 shows the six main constructs that inform HBM. All of these constructs are essential to informing healthcare providers about information regarding alternative tobacco products so that they are able to make decisions and recommendations for their patients (Xxxxx et al., 2008) By having the providers intervene in HBM specifically around perceived susceptibility, it may help the patient better understand the threats and risks to their health. Detailing the negative effects of tobacco use in any way will allow the patient to see the perceived threat in a new way. Therefore, allowing the patient to take cues to action in making better decisions for their health. Table 1.
