Studies of AIDS-related behavior change which used a systematic psychosocial conceptual model--The Health Belief Model (HBM)--are reviewed. Based on this, it is suggested for further studies: (1) to differentiate among different patterns of potential behavioral change--acceptance of new behaviors, change of existing behaviors, and maintenance of current behaviors; (2) to widen the conceptual model, (3) to use a similar model systematically in studies of different populations. A proposed application of an extended version of the HBM for the study of condom use among adolescents is presented.
本文回顾了运用系统心理社会概念模型——健康信念模型(HBM)开展的与艾滋病相关行为改变的研究。基于此,建议后续研究:(1)区分潜在行为改变的不同模式——接受新行为、改变现有行为以及维持当前行为;(2)拓宽概念模型;(3)在不同人群的研究中系统使用类似模型。本文还介绍了将扩展版HBM应用于青少年使用避孕套研究的设想。
