PSYC 3450 - Health Belief Model Interview Format (20 points)
Due Sunday, June 25th at 11:59 pm
Purpose: To start thinking about your health belief model interview project
By identifying an interviewee and creating a list of interview questions, you will be more likely to begin and do
well on this project.
Task: This is the first part of your Health Belief Model Interview Project.
1. You will identify a person to interview. This could be a friend, family member, co-worker, or classmate.
a. Include their name, some demographic information (age, gender, race, occupation, etc.), how
you know them, and why you're choosing to interview them.
2. You will create a list of interview questions and follow-ups that explore the health belief model in a
way that is relevant to the interviewee you identified.
a. For example, if the person is a smoker or has a particular illness and/or health concerns, this
may influence your questions.
b. Your questions should address each component of the health belief model, including at least
one health behavior and the five predictors said to influence behavior (watch lecture on
attitude theories & see p. 49 and Figure 3.1 in the textbook to review the health belief model).
c. Example health behaviors that you could choose to focus on for this project include smoking,
drinking, eating a healthy (or unhealthy) diet, exercising, sleeping, meditating, skin protecting
behaviors (e.g., wearing sunscreen), and medication adherence. (Note that this list is not
exhaustive).
3. You will submit these pieces of information within iCollege.
