Question

Health Belief Model Using the scenario below, (1) put the number attached to each piece of information in the correct 'boxes' on the HBM model below, (2) based on the information provided, rate perceived threat and expected net gains by circling ONE of the possible answers, (3) decide the likelihood of behavior change by circling ONE of the possible answers and explaining why you chose that answer (.e. justify your answer). Then, answer the questions below. (15 points) Devin, lung disease & vaping 30 year old man 1. Doesn't think having a lung disease is that bad. Modern medicine has evolved so much that if he did develop one, it could be easily 'cured 2. Vaping is expensive; he could save a lot of money. 3. Vaping is his way of relaxing after a stressful day at work. 4. Friends all vape; it plays a big role in their social activities. 5. Vaping is the 'in thing'; he feels like he's a part of the 'in crowd' at the bars. 6. His friends have vaped much longer than he has, and none of them have developed a lung disease. He doesn't think he will either. List 1 cue to action, specific to this example that may remind Devin to stop vaping You want to increase Devin's perceived threat of developing a lung disease. Thinking about the HBM, how would you do this, and what is an example of an intervention activity that can target each of those constructs? Include the 2 constructs you would target. Construct to Target/Change Intervention activity 2

Answer 1

1) Teach the patient Strategies of readiness and all the positive outcome of not vaping and teaching the ways to quit vaping.

2)

Construct to target/change	Intervention activity
His friends have vaped much longer then he has and none of them has developed lung diseases. He doesn't he will either	The risk for infection - Educate the patient that he is at the risk of getting infected. Make aware of all the risk factors of lung diseases associated with vaping.
Doesn't think having a lung disease is bad. Modern medicine has evolved. Thinks that if he does have one it could be easily cured	Deficit knowledge - Health educate the patient that lung disease could be dangerous and cause Obliterative bronchiolitis obstruction& inflammation of bronchioles otherwise called popcorn lung. over 2000 cases have been reported

3)

a) The perceived threat of developing lung disease is HIGH because the patient is at the risk of developing lung disease and not aware of the risk factors.

b) The perceived threat of stop vaping is POSITIVE because it prevents all the risk factor from not getting popcorn lung disease.

c) The likelihood of quitting vaping is LOW because the patient feels that there is no harm in it and the chance of developing lung disease is not there and even if it occurred it can be easily cured.
