The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a psychological framework developed to explain and predict health-related behaviors by focusing on individual beliefs about health conditions. It posits that health behaviors are influenced by personal perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers related to a health issue.

Moderators and Mediators in HBM:
Application to Different Populations:
Critiques and Limitations:
The Health Belief Model remains a valuable framework for understanding health behaviors, particularly through its focus on perceived benefits and barriers. However, its predictive power can vary, and the model's complexity, including the role of moderators like self-efficacy, suggests that future research should continue to refine and adapt the HBM for different populations and health behaviors.
