Health Belief Model Concept Map Overview
The health belief model is a psychological framework that explains why people do or do not take preventive health actions. It proposes that behavior depends on how threatened a person feels by a condition and how much they expect a response to help. A health belief model concept map separates these ideas so you can see how they relate.
- Perceived susceptibility: how likely a person thinks they are to get a condition
- Perceived severity: how serious they believe the consequences would be
- Perceived benefits: how useful they think the action is
- Perceived barriers: costs, inconvenience or fear that block action
- Cues to action: triggers such as a reminder, symptom or campaign
Use the map to revise before an exam, compare constructs, or plan a health campaign. You can generate a personalized map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
