“…Our findings show that by descending order of influence, ATSD, perceived benefits, social norms, cues to action and PBC are direct predictors of road safety behaviour. In support of previous research (Mehri et al, 2015;Razmara et al, 2018;Okyere et al, 2021;Armitage et al, 2022), these findings suggest that the perceived gains of road safety practicesprevention of injuries and fatalities resulting from RTCs, as well as avoiding financial loss such as repairs, medical bills and insurance claimsinfluence safe driving behaviour. The significant social norms-road safety behaviour relationship corroborates perspectives of other studies (Duong and Parker, 2018;Ibrahim et al, 2020) and positions social influence as a crucial factor in promoting safe driving practices.…”

“…2.2.1 Health belief model and road safety behaviour. It has been established that individuals will take preventive measures to escape risk if they consider themselves vulnerable to a condition as such, perceptions of personal vulnerability (perceived susceptibility) to injuries determines intentions to engage in safety behaviours such as safety helmet use (Zavareh et al, 2018) and self-reported seat belt use (Okyere et al, 2021). Other related studies have reported significant associations between risk perception and driving behaviours as shown by speed limit compliance among drivers who perceive higher traffic risk (Sôimsôekoglu et al, 2013).…”

“…This theory has been used to study the intention to vaccinate against influenza (Chen, 2011) and HPV (Donadiki et al, 2014). The theory has proven effective in studying cervical cancer screening in Ghana (Ampofo et al, 2020) and seat belt use (Okyere et al, 2021). Current research studies by Wong et al (2020) and Wong et al (2021) have applied the theory in the study of intention to use the COVID-19 vaccine.…”

“…It has been suggested that combining several different but complementary theories and integrating them to compensate for the shortcomings of a single theory might improve the effectiveness of behavior change theory interventions on behavior [ 21 ]. Several researchers have validated the validity of the integrated model of the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior [ 22 ].…”
