Which concept describes that taking action will help prevent or reduce the issue?

• A. Perceived Benefits
• B. Perceived Susceptibility
• C. Habit
• D. Cue to Action

Answer: (A)

This describes Perceived Benefits—the belief that taking the recommended action will reduce the risk or severity of the problem. In the Health Belief Model, people are more likely to act when they think the action will yield real, helpful results and the barriers to taking that action are manageable.

Perceived Susceptibility is about whether someone feels at risk, not whether the action itself helps. Habit refers to actions that have become automatic through repetition. A Cue to Action is a trigger that prompts action, such as reminders or symptoms, rather than a belief about the action’s effectiveness.
