“…This is important because it runs contrary to the assumption (as also shown by knowledge and perceptions of HCWs in our study) that if people are adequately informed about cancer, they will automatically take appropriate action. While knowledge may be necessary in this regard, it is not always sufficient to instill new habits (Champion, 1988). This is consistent with, health belief model (Rosentock, 1994), which assumes that perceived susceptibility to cancer is one variable that mediates protective action.…”

Assessment of perceptions of the community, the determinants and development of their behavior regarding common malignancies, helps in establishing evidence-based activities for prevention and early diagnosis of cancer. However information on this important aspect is lacking in our country. Qualitative methods were here used to obtain information through in depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with all categories of identified stakeholders. Most were unaware of the activities of the cancer control program. Even the providers were not fully conversant. All respondents mentioned lack of diagnostic and treatment facilities in government, primary and secondary level facilities. Perceptions of different categories of stakeholders regarding why many community members did not attend screening camps and other services reflect the determinants of community behavior, acting independently as well as in combination. The cancer control program was thought to be restricted only to some private facilities and overcrowded government tertiary care facilities where the visits were time consuming. Almost all the facilities were considered curative oriented. Issues of supervision, monitoring and feedback were inadequately addressed by providers who were inadequately trained in many program activities. The program lacked effective planning, coordination and appropriate implementation at the grass roots level in Delhi. Social mobilization was grossly inadequate, as most of the community members were unaware of the existence of the program. Misconceptions about the risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment were common amongst community members as well as many of the providers. Thus the national cancer control program in our country needs further community participation and social mobilization. Accessibility, availability, acceptability and affordability of various preventive, curative and rehabilitative activities, as well as intersectoral coordination, training, supervision and monitoring of program activities, all need to be addressed to ensure the success of this important public health program.

“…It is possible that for a health issue such as childhood obesity, for many of these parents, grandparents, and older siblings in the sample, the perceived benefits of the health action to avoid fast food are too well established. Champion [40][41][42][43] in HBM studies on breast cancer, found that the perceived severity of breast cancer was not a significant factor that influenced health actions. The researchers reasoned that the severity of breast cancer was already widely known, and therefore played a less significant role in propelling women to take health actions to do breast selfexaminations.…”

The influence of adult family members on children's fast food consumption: A health belief perspective

This study, which positions adult family members as health advocates and active promoters of their children's health, explicates the health beliefs and health actions of adult caregivers in limiting children's fast food consumption to prevent childhood obesity. Based on a survey of 124 parents, grandparents, and older siblings in Singapore, this study, which is grounded in the Health Belief Model, found that the strongest predictor of adult family members' behaviors to limit children's consumption of fast food is cues to action, or external stimuli. Adult family members who have greater exposure to news stories, media campaigns, and personal interactions and discussions about fast food are most likely to limit their children's consumption of fast food. Adult family members who perceive their children's higher susceptibility to childhood obesity also are more likely to limit their children's fast food consumption. Similarly, family members who view more seriously childhood obesity as a life-threatening illness are more likely to limit their children's fast food consumption. Finally, adult family members who consider fast food advertising to be less ethical are more likely to limit their children's consumption of fast food. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…The Health Belief Model uses beliefs to predict actual probability of behaviour, while the Theory of Planned Behaviour uses beliefs to predict behaviour indirectly via intentions. Some researchers, including Becker and Rosenstock themselves (Becker et al, 1977), have suggested that intention might mediate between the components of the model and behaviour (Champion, 1988;Cummings, Jette, Brock and Haefner, 1979;Hays, 1985). 2.…”

The paper reports a prospective longitudinal comparison of the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock, 1966) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 1985) in which the ability of the models to predict and understand the factors determining use of protective helmets among 162 schoolboy cyclists was examined by path analysis.The TPB emerged with greater economy and less redundancy than the HBM. A second path analysis examined whether intention, which is not included among the original components of the HBM, might mediate the links between the predictor variables and behaviour, and this proved to be correct. Lastly, the effects of prior behaviour were examined and found to have a significant effect on helmet use in both models. It was concluded that the TPB had greater predictive utility than the HBM. The implications of the fmdings are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.
