“…Behavior change or adoption can be considered a process across stages of time (Bartholemew et al, 2011; Cho & Salmon, 2007; Eastin et al, 2015; Weinstein, Lyon, Sandman, & Cuite, 1998), consistent with conceiving of different stages of risk domains (Leiss, 2001). Behavioral stage models include the precaution adoption process model (PAPM; Weinstein et al, 1998; Weinstein, Sandman, & Blalock, 2008), the protective action decision model (PADM; Lindell & Perry, 2012), and the trans-theoretical model of behavior change (TTM; Prochaska & DiClemente, 1984). Using a stage approach to communication strategies suggests that people in different stages require different processes to help them progress through change (Bartholomew et al, 2011).…”

This study explores predictors of risk information avoidance intentions in the context of a novel environmental threat—induced earthquakes in Texas. Given the paucity of research on risk information avoidance, this work was guided by a cognitive information behavior model. Survey data ( N = 541) from a random sample of Texas adults allowed us to explore these variables. While previous research has shown risk information seeking intentions to be robustly guided by a number of constructs, our current data suggest that risk information avoidance intentions may be more narrowly predicated on risk information avoidance-related subjective norms, attitudes, and perceived knowledge insufficiency. We discuss these findings and suggest avenues for future environmental risk research.

“…The online questionnaire was developed based on the findings from our earlier interviews (Wang etal., , ), a review of previous related evidence, and two health models (the Health Belief Model [HBM] and the Theory of Reasoned Action [TRA]; Champion, , ; Fishbein & Ajzen, ). In addition to the HBM and TRA, a precaution adoption process model was employed to assist in the designing of the questionnaire, because the intended health behavior of a person could be divided into several different levels (Weinstein & Sandman, , Figure S1).…”

Purpose The views of butch‐ and femme‐identified lesbians toward their own breasts, breast cancer, breast cancer screenings, and their behavior and intentions toward breast health care were examined and compared in this study. Methods A total of 208 Taiwanese lesbians (134 butch‐identified lesbians and 78 femme‐identified lesbians) completed an online survey. Results Butch‐identified lesbians were more likely to hold negative views regarding their own breasts, which were found to be significantly and negatively associated with their actions in performing breast self‐examinations when compared with femme‐identified lesbians. Conclusions Healthcare providers should be aware of and provide culturally competent care to lesbians with different identities. Clinical Relevance The results can be employed as evidence for promoting lesbians’ breast health, particularly butch‐identified lesbians. Healthcare providers should provide a supportive environment in order to promote a positive body image and improve breast health among lesbians.

“…The probable factors that determine progress from one stage to another, as suggested by Weinstein, include media messages of risk and care (stages 1 and 2), increased awareness, personal experience of risk and relationship with other important people (stages 2 and 3), perceived threat and fear, perceived social norms, belief in effectiveness and care issue (stages 3–4 or 5), self-efficacy and perceived benefits and barriers (stages 5–6). [ 1 ] PAPM has been applied to a variety of research topics such as human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine[ 2 ] and cancer screening. [ 3 ]…”

BACKGROUND: Implementing a cervical cancer prevention program requires an exploration of certain behaviors concerning this disease. This study is aimed to evaluate the psychometrics of a questionnaire that enquired about the factors involved in Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) for cervical cancer among suburban women in Bandar Abbas, south of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary draft of the questionnaire was developed with a review of the related literature on cervical cancer and the constructs affecting PAPM, with 68 items. The face validity, content validity ratio (CVR), and content validity index (CVI) of the questionnaire were approved by a panel of 10 experts. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the questionnaire were estimated too. Field testing sample included 300 women recruited from a women's healthcare center in suburban areas of Bandar Abbas in the south of Iran. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was estimated for reliability. RESULTS: After the face validation, 11 items were eliminated. Once CVR was estimated, two items were discarded. The remaining items had a CVR >0.79. All had a CVI >0.79. Six items were eliminated in the factor analysis. The final questionnaire included 49 items organized in 8 factors including awareness, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, social norms, fear, and self-efficacy. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation indicated eight main components that explained 56.25% of the variance. Reliability assessment showed a good internal consistency for all subscales and the Cronbach's alpha score ranged between 0.82 and 0.90. The test-retest reliability showed that the correlation coefficients (between 0.81 and 0.89) were significant at the 0.01 level for all sub-scales. CONCLUSIONS: The final questionnaire was a new instrument comprised the effective constructs of PAPM and had a high reliability and validity. Thus, this questionnaire is recommended to be used to explore and enhance preventive behaviors of cervical cancer.
