“…The analysis in this paper is an attempt to apply the concept of illness behaviour and some elements of the socalled Health Belief Model (66) to the process of need assessment. The analysis is based on the assumption that the behaviour of the physician can be studied in the same conceptual context as the behaviour of the client.…”

This paper presents a theoretical model to be used for comparative studies of lay and medically defined need for medical care. The model is based on an analysis of the concept of need and need statements, lay and medical concepts of ill health and the relationships between need, ill health and utilization of medical care. It is concluded, on both theoretical and empirical grounds, that need is relative to time, place and assessor. The most important determinants of assessments of for what and when one should seek medical attention are assumed to be the assessor's perception and valuation of the health status and his expectations of the probable out-come of medical care use. Assessment of need is seen as a process in which past experiences and expectations of the future course of the health status affect decision-making. It is emphasized that the points of view of both client and provider should be taken into consideration in medical practice, as well as in health care planning, because the two perspectives tend to be only partially congruent. The nature and extent of these incongruences could be studied by the application of the proposed model.

“…Several research reports and reviews have been directed towards understanding why people do not make use of available services that are evidently beneficial to them (4)(5)(6). The theory applied the most often to explain why people do or do not engage in various actions oriented towards preventive health is the health belief model.…”

“…Further, in light of health belief model (Becker et al, 1977) and theory of protection motivation (Rogers, 1983), such a shift in parents' perception depends on their perceptions if their children's vulnerability to and/or perceived severity of a certain illness. Perceived vulnerability is the perceived likelihood of contracting an illness.…”

“…These theories examine factors that lead to the formation of intentions (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975). The most widely used social cognition models in research of health behavior are the health belief model (Becker et al, 1977), the theory of protection motivation (Rogers, 1983), the theory of reasoned action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991(Ajzen, , 2012, and the reasoned action model (Fishbein & Ajzen, 2010). In general, these models explain that the desirability of a human behavior depends on individuals' cognitive factors' being summed products of the expectancy and value of specific outcomes (Conner & Norman, 2005).…”

The present research addressed whether mothers' perception that their children are vulnerable to and threatened by a certain health problem increases their intention to use over-the-counter (OTC) medications to prevent it. The research aimed to examine the predictive validity and the moderating effects of perceived vulnerability and perceived threat on mothers' intention to administer over-the-counter preventive medications to their school-aged children. Derived from social cognition models, a causal model was developed and tested with data collected from 299 mothers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, regarding the vitamin supplement category. The model was found to significantly predict mothers' intention to use OTC medications. Perceived vulnerability and perceived threat did not predict intention but moderated the relationship between perceived benefit and intention to administer vitamin supplements. Theoretical and managerial implications and limitations of the research are also discussed.
