TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Using the health belief model to predict bystander behavior among college students JO - Journal of student affairs research and practice A1 - Blavos, Alexis A. A1 - Glassman, Tavis A1 - Sheu, Jiunn-Jye A1 - Diehr, Aaron A1 - Deakins, Bethany SP - 420 EP - 432 VL - 51 IS - 4 N2 - This investigation used the Health Belief Model (HBM) to examine perceived barriers and benefits college students hold concerning medical amnesty. Researchers employed a cross-sectional research design with 369 students completing the survey (97% response rate). A path analysis revealed that college students are more likely to seek help during an alcohol overdose when they perceive the situation as life-threatening with few barriers.

RESULTS reveal that the HBM is useful in explaining intentions to utilize medical amnesty.
