Health Belief Determinants Of Obesity And Diabetes Mellitus Among Adults In Umuahia South (AMUZU-OLOKORO) And Obingwa (MGBOKO) Local Government Areas Of Abia State.
ABSTRACT
The Health Belief
Model is a theoretical model that can be used to guide health promotion and
disease prevention programs. It is used to explain and predict individual
changes in health behaviors. It is one of the most widely used models for
understanding health behaviors (Scarinci et al., 2012). Key elements of the Health Belief Model focus on individual beliefs
about health conditions, which predict individual health-related behaviors. The
model defines the key factors that influence health behaviors as an
individual's perceived threat to sickness or disease (perceived
susceptibility), belief of consequence (perceived severity), potential positive
benefits of action (perceived benefits), perceived barriers to action, exposure
to factors that prompt action (cues to action), and confidence in ability to succeed
(self-efficacy), (Li et al., 2019).
