Young adults 19 through 24 years of age were among the populations that had the highest frequency of infection from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. However, over the 2009-2010 flu season, H1N1 vaccine uptake among college students nationwide was around 8%. To explore the social cognitive factors that influenced their intentions to get the H1N1 vaccine, this study compares the predictive power of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the health belief model (HBM), and an integrated model. The final model shows that several HBM variables influenced behavioral intentions through the TPB variables. The results suggest that even though the TPB seemed a superior model for behavior prediction, the addition of the HBM variables could inform future theory development by offering health-specific constructs that potentially enhance the predictive validity of TPB variables.
19至24岁的年轻人是2009年甲型H1N1流感大流行期间感染率最高的人群之一。然而，在2009-2010流感季节，全国大学生中甲型H1N1流感疫苗的接种率约为8%。为了探究影响他们接种甲型H1N1流感疫苗意愿的社会认知因素，本研究比较了计划行为理论（TPB）、健康信念模型（HBM）和一个整合模型的预测能力。最终模型表明，几个健康信念模型变量通过计划行为理论变量影响行为意愿。结果表明，尽管计划行为理论似乎是行为预测的一个更优模型，但加入健康信念模型变量可以通过提供可能增强计划行为理论变量预测效度的特定健康构念，为未来的理论发展提供参考。
