Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brenner's stimulus-response experiments are not directly related to the development of the Health Belief Model (HBM). The HBM was primarily developed to understand why people failed to adopt disease prevention strategies or screening tests for the early detection of disease, with its origins in the study of why people with access to tuberculosis screening did not utilize it, and it incorporates components of cognitive theory and value-expectancy models, but not Brenner's stimulus-response experiments.
