Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option C is an example of the health belief model because it involves the person perceiving a personal threat to their health (heart disease and obesity) as a result of being overweight, which leads to them taking action (losing weight). The health belief model posits that a person's behavior is influenced by their beliefs and perceptions about their vulnerability to a particular health problem, the severity of the consequences, and the perceived benefits and barriers of taking action to prevent or control it. Option A is an example of a perceived barrier to behavior change, while option B reflects a lack of perceived susceptibility or severity of the health threat. Option D reflects denial or lack of awareness about the health problem.
