There are three major premises that comprise the HBM: individual perceptions, modifying factors, and likelihood of action (Bastable, 2006; Hochbaum, 1958; Phuanukoonnon, Brough, & Bryan, 2006). Individual perceptions refer to the patient’s perception of susceptibility and severity of the disease. Modifying factors include knowledge base, as well as demographics and social and psychological variables. Likelihood of action is based on the perceived barriers and benefits of the situation. These premises influence the likelihood of the acceptance and application of health behaviors by the patient (Bastable, 2006; Hochbaum, 1958; Phuanukoonnon, Brough, & Bryan, 2006) (see Figure 1).
