Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theory of planned behavior takes into account both environmental and social pressures when predicting health behavior, as well as individual attitudes and beliefs. Self-efficacy theory focuses more on an individual's belief in their ability to perform the desired behavior, while the health belief model primarily considers an individual's perception of the threat of a health issue and the perceived benefits and barriers to taking action.
