The Health Belief Model includes constructs such as susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy.

• A. Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers
• B. Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy
• C. Self-efficacy only
• D. Cues to action

Answer: (B)

The Health Belief Model explains why people decide to take action by six key constructs: perceived susceptibility (risk of getting the condition), perceived severity (how serious the condition would be), perceived benefits (belief that the action will reduce risk or impact), perceived barriers (obstacles to taking the action), cues to action (triggers that prompt action), and self-efficacy (confidence in one’s ability to perform the action). The option that includes all six reflects the full model, showing not just beliefs about risk and benefits but also what prompts action and the person’s confidence to act. Other options that list only the four perceived constructs or only one construct omit cues to action or self-efficacy, which are essential parts of how the model explains behavior.
