Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The HBM was created to explain why people did or did not participate in health education programs to prevent or detect disease, even when the programs were free.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The HBM is a value expectancy theory that addresses factors that promote health-enhancing behavior. The HBM considers perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and other sociopsychological and structural variables. Self-efficacy, defined as the notion that an individual can act successfully on a given behavior to produce the desired outcome, was later added to the HBM.
