“…1). This model has been successfully applied in several studies to explain various aspects of health behaviour, such as fruit and vegetable consumption [17,18], fat intake [19], the use of sunbeds [20], participation in employee fitness programs [21], smoking [16,22,23] and adherence to hormone replacement therapy [24]. The ASE-model originated from the theory of reasoned action (TRA) [25,26].…”

An explanatory framework, referred to as the attitude/social influence/self-efficacy-model (ASE-model), was utilised to explain future self-reported adherence of adolescents to daily inhaled prophylactic asthma medication. The objective was to investigate the long-term influence of these earlier reported cognitive variables and other psychological and medical determinants on self-reported adherence 1 year later. Data were collected, via a questionnaire, from 86 adolescents with asthma (aged 11 through 18 years) recruited from outpatient clinics. Adherence was assessed by asking the patients to give themselves a report mark for adherence. The results of the multiple regression analyses showed that the three major ASE-variables were predictors of self-reported adherence to a moderate degree (R(2)=0.21). Previous self-reported adherence was found to be the best predictor of self-reported adherence to prophylactic asthma medication 1 year later (R(2)=0.45). The results of this study could be useful in the development of interventions to enhance adherence to asthma medication. In future, such interventions should focus on feelings of shame about having asthma and promoting healthy habits, such as adherence to medication.

“…predicting mothers' intentions to limit the frequency of their infants' sugar intake (Beale & Manstead, 1991), condom use (Davidson & Morrison, 1983;Fisher, 1984), uptake of smoking (McNeil et af., 1989), blood donation Bagozzi, 1981;Burnkrant & Page, 1982), intention to lose weight (Schifter & Ajzen, 1985), adolescent use of alcohol (Schlegel, Crawford & Sanborn, 1977), exercise behaviour (Godin, Valois & Lepage, 1993) and wearing seatbelts (Wittenbraker, Gibbs & Kahle, 1983). To date, though, there has been no published attempt to understand women's decisions to take HRT using such theories and models, although a PsycLZT search revealed one compliance study that used the theory of reasoned action to predict the continuation of hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women (Visser et al, 1995).…”

Objectives. To examine women's attitudes towards the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and to predict intention to take it in a sample of 1200 women using the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988) and a measure of similar prior behaviour. Design. The design was cross‐sectional. A postal survey was carried out. Methods. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 1200 women aged between 38 and 58 generated from the Kent Family Health Services Authority records. Questions based on the theory of planned behaviour were used to predict women's intentions to take HRT. Information was also collected about the women's sources of information on the menopause, their experience of the menopause and the time leading up to it, their general health, and their sociodemographic circumstances. Results. Analysis was carried out on the responses of the 641 women who were not yet taking and had never taken HRT. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that similar prior behaviour made a small independent contribution to the prediction of behavioural intention when entered after the components of the model. Structural equation modelling was carried out to show the paths between the variables. When age was included, similar prior behaviour was shown to influence behaviour through perceived behavioural control and attitude. Conclusions. In predicting women's intention to take HRT, the beliefs of significant others, the women's personal beliefs, their degree of confidence in their ability to carry out the behaviour and the experience of similar prior behaviour are important considerations.

“…Visser et al (1995) found SE explained 29% of the variance in Dutch and Belgian women's intention to continue using HT, followed by SN at 11%. A study of pre‐menopausal UK women found SN to be the strongest predictor of intention to initiate HT, followed closely by PBC.…”

“…The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) has been used to examine women's intention to start and/or continue to use HT (Légaré, Godin, Guilbert, Laperrière, & Dodin, 2000; Quine & Rubin, 1997; Spatz, Denis, Byrne, & Page, 2003; Visser et al , 1995). It assumes decisions are rational, with benefits weighed against costs.…”
