magine you wanted to use your knowledge of the HEALTH BELIEF MODEL to encourage parents to have their children vaccinated. What key messages (there are 4 of them you should cover, worth 2 points each) would you want to convey to the parents?

Answer 1

The key four messages that we should cover pertaining the HEALTH BELIEF MODEL to encourage parents to have their children vaccinated are;

The perceived susceptibility for e.g., the perceived probability/likelihood of contracting an infection),

The perceived severity for e.g., the perceived consequence of the infection,

The perceived benefits of the adopting the recommended behaviors and

The perceived barriers that could be met; while taking action

Communication of all these messages will most probably make them buy the suggestion to get their child vaccinated.
