Is it true that the Health Belief Model suggests that an individual’s health-related behaviour is influenced by their perceptions and beliefs?

Yes. The Health Belief Model is widely supported across public health literature as a valid framework demonstrating that an individual's health-related behaviors are influenced by perceptions and beliefs such as perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers.

The analysis

The claim states that the Health Belief Model suggests health-related behavior is influenced by perceptions and beliefs. This is the foundational premise of the Health Belief Model (HBM). Multiple empirical papers in the retrieved set apply the HBM to various health behaviors (vaccination, helmet use, preventive behaviors, app adoption, self-care) and consistently find that HBM constructs (perceptions and beliefs) significantly predict these behaviors. Thus, the claim is strongly supported.
