Constructs from social cognitive models, such as, the health belief model (HBM), theory of reasoned action, and social cognitive theory, are factors that can influence these behavioral outcomes. To compare the predictive powers of these three theories in regard to decision-making with reproductive health behaviors in teens with diabetes and to identify a composite model of the strongest predictors across all three theories. Data were collected from a telephone interview by same-gender research assistants on a sample of 87 female adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) from four medical centers using the reproductive health attitudes and behavior (RHAB) questionnaire. Measures represent demographic variables, constructs of the three theories, and behavioral outcomes. Standard multiple regression analyses were used to examine the prediction of the three theories in the outcome variable [intention for ...Continue Reading
