Question

Suppose a medical technology were developed that instantaneously eliminated any diseases that you have, though it involves a series of 25 shots (with BIG needles). Using theory developed so far, what do you think would happen to people’s health behaviors? What would happen to the consumption of healthcare? Why?

Answer 1

As per theory people's health behaviour would become more callous since health would be achieved

1. more readily, the people's intention to be healthy would be fulfilled and

2. surely and

3. for any disease

The intention-behaviour relation Several theories that have been used extensively to
predict health behaviours construe the person's intention to act as the most immediate and
important predictor of subsequent action, such as the theory of planned behaviour

Intentions can be defined as the instructions that people give themselves to perform particular behaviours or to achieve certain goals and are characteristicaIly measured by items of the form 'I intend to do/achieve X.' Intentions are the culmination of the decision-making process; they signal the end of deliberation about a behaviour and capture the standard of performance that one has set oneself, one's commitment to the performance, and the amount of time and effort that will be expended during action.

Consumption of Health would increase tremenduously

since health would be achieved

1. more readily and

2. surely and

3. for any disease

The product is of high quality hence consumption would increase.
