Health Belief Model

People will take a health-related action if that person… feels the negative health condition can be avoided

has a positive expectation that the recommended action avoids the negative health condition

believes he can successfully take the recommended health action

True or False….

If I have a good idea that adds value, it will be easy to

convince othersto accept it.

Two things to remember…#1 Change is not an event; it is a

processknowledge – persuasion – decision –

implementation – confirmation (E.M.Rogers)

#2 Change is motivated by: a tension between current state and

desired state a belief in the ability to change

Page 9: DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION Mary Lynn Manns, PhD manns@unca.edu

People do not move through the change process at the same rate

Do you know these people? New stuff is cool!

Innovators Interesting idea, but I want to hear more.

Early Adopters What do other people think?

Early Majority If I have to…

Late Majority We’ve always done it this way…

Laggards

More about the innovation decision process…

knowledge – persuasion – decision – implementation – confirmation

The mental activity at…… knowledge is cognitive (knowing)… persuasion is affective (feeling)

Page 11: DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION Mary Lynn Manns, PhD manns@unca.edu

Knowledge:present the relevant facts

Goal: Audience will believe you and be willing to be persuaded

Stress a simple, concrete message Make it relevant to that person or organization Capture attention Show credibility Show a relative advantage Concentrate on the possibilities Keep it visible and frequent Make it memorable Include the next steps

People will forget what you said, forget what you did, but not forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)

Page 12: DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION Mary Lynn Manns, PhD manns@unca.edu

Persuasion:transform information into action

Goal: Audience will form the intended viewpoint and be willing to act on it

Ask yourself: What will cause my audience to feel something?

Set the stage - relationships Match problem to individual concerns Tell meaningful stories Use images Do food Appeal to a sense of urgency Stir up some anger Make it fun Build a support system Show that you are emotionally attached Show that you understand the fear and the challenges and their

loss Create a sense of ownership for the problem and the solution Ask for help Be appreciative

Preventive Innovation….

Facts Fear Force “I’ll save you”

Versus

A sense of hope with accompanying support

Page 15: DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION Mary Lynn Manns, PhD manns@unca.edu

Summary….

Change is not an event; it is a process It is useful to understand how different types of

people move through this process (Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, Laggards)

Techniques for knowledge are different than those for persuasion

You must: (1) create a tension between the current state and the desired state, and (2) a belief in the ability to change Hope and support work better than facts, fear,

force, and “saving”
