Question 3
Tandy wants to start going to a weight management class but the buses don’t run regularly and she’s afraid to walk. What Theory of Planned Behaviour arm do these concerns fall under?
A
Behavioural attitude
B
Perceived threat
C
Subjective norms
D
Perceived behavioural control
Question 3 Explanation: 
The correct answer is perceived behavioural control: these are barriers standing in the way of her wanting to make that change, these are factors she's not in control of. Her desire to lose weight *is* an example of behavioural attitude but weight loss isn't a concern. Perceived threat would be correct if this was the health belief model.

Practical
Question 5
Which of the following is an example of a problem focussed coping strategy?
A
Medication
B
Finding support from social services
C
Drug and alcohol use
D
Keeping a thought diary
Question 6
Which model of health inequalities best captures this scenario: lack of control over life and work due to social status creates anxiety that causes a neuroendocrine response to stress.
A
Behavioural model
B
Cultural model
C
Neomaterial model
D
Psychosocial model
Question 6 Explanation: 
The psychosocial model is the correct answer. People in lower social classes and people in lower-grade positions in organisations experience more stress and anxiety because they have less control in how they manage their lives. Anxiety induces a stress response (the neuroendocrine response to stress) leading to health problems. The behavioural and cultural models are the same thing and describe how health behaviours are influenced by social class, culture and friends. The neomaterial model describes how a lack of personal and/or community resources makes it difficult to adopt healthy behaviours e.g. because they can't afford them or can't easily access them.
Question 7
Jason recently had a one night stand with a friend. Despite using protection and knowing his friend takes precautions as well, he wants to get himself tested for an STI but he’s scared of discovering he has HIV. Which influencing arm of the health belief model is this an example of?
A
Susceptibility
B
Severity
C
Benefits
D
Barriers
Question 7 Explanation: 
The correct answer is severity as he is scared of HIV (and what that diagnosis might mean for him). There is no real reason for him to be worrying that he has got something from the sexual encounter so susceptibility isn't really the right answer; in another scenario, susceptibility i.e. risk of infection could be a reason to get screened. Barriers and benefits are both aspects of perceived efficacy - how effective/easy will it be to make a change/do something.
