Question

Which model explains why a young woman who smokes is NOT likely to quit because she does not think she will get lung disease, and quitting will result in weight gain?

Answer 1

Answer:

health belief model

Explanation:

The Health Belief Model, developed in the 1950s by US public health social psychologists, has been considered among cognitive models as one of the most widely researched to explain and predict health behaviors. Health beliefs refer to the perceived susceptibility and severity of the disease in question, and the perceived benefits and barriers to disease prevention or treatment behaviors. It is the health belief model that explains why a young woman who smokes is unlikely to quit because she does not think she will suffer from lung disease and quitting will result in weight gain.
