Morrison and Bennetts criticism of the hbm
. It is unclear how the different stages interact with one another to influence behaviour
Becker claims that…
. Perceived costs and perceived benefits are balanced in the hbm but we are unsure how?
Criticisms of the hbm (7)
. Can’t calculate a score
. Suggests everyone thinks rationally
. Self efficacy and behavioural control unsure accounts
. Not much mention of social determinants
. Perceived severity/susceptibility unethical or counter productive
. All beliefs are static
. Better applied to intention rather than actual behaviour
Wilson and haters view on screening is:
It is when we discover those amongst the apparently well who are with disease and then they get treatment to help themselves and prevent them becoming a danger to others.
Wilson and jagers principles of screening are: (8)
. Health problem has to be important
. The natural history of the health problem understood
. There to be adequate facilities to deal with findings
. Benefits > costs
. Benefits > harm
. Adequate screening technique
. Detectable at an early stage
. Done at repeated level when onset is insidious
McCaul et al…
Perceived risk: strong factor
Perceived susceptibility: moderate factor
Of getting screening
cues to action in the case of screening are:
. Mass media campaigns . Advice . Reminders . Family/ friends . Articles
