The Health Belief Model is a tool that scientists use to try to predict health behaviors.

It posits that messages will achieve optimal behavior change if they successfully target perceived barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, and threats.

Choice A, there is no way to predict who perceives they are susceptible to a disease.

Choice B, perceived susceptibility is powerful in explaining preventive behaviors.

Choice D, individuals do not learn through observing others are not major assumptions of the Health Belief Model.
