Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of smoking among high school students using health belief model (HBM). Methods In this cross-sectional study, participants were 425 boys (mean age was 16.7 ± 0.85 and ranged from 15 to 19 years) among high school students in Bandar-Abbas city. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisted of two main sections: Socio-demographic characteristics and HBM constructs. The zero-inflated ordered probit (ZIOP) model was used for investigating the association between health belief model constructs and smoking behavior. Results Results indicated that 82% of participants never smoked cigarette at all. The results of ZIOP model showed that knowledge, susceptibility, severity, benefits and cues to action had significant effect (P < 0.05) on smoking cigarette after adjusting for other covariates (i.e age, parents’ education, losing one of the parents). Moreover, having a smoker friend was an inflation factor (P < 0.001). Adolescents with smoking friends are 44% less likely not to smoke at all. Conclusion Based on these findings, having a smoker friend, knowledge, susceptibility, severity, benefits and cues to action have a key role in predicting smoking and should be considered in designing educational programs aiming at reducing smoking initiation among adolescents.

The Health Belief Model

Delivering cancer education is one of the strategies for implementing health promotion and disease prevention programs. Moreover, cancer education can help people understand the risks related to specific behaviors that can trigger cancer during later life stages. This study examines the cancer perception of high school students (median age: 14 years) using a photovoice based on the health belief model. Students were requested to take photographs to answer the framework question: “How is cancer present in your surrounding?” A theoretical thematic analysis was conducted to develop codes, and the narratives completed by the participants on the SHOWED checklist were used to create contextualization. With the use of the health belief model, the following factors were determined: risk factors and environmental pollution (perceived susceptibility), symptoms (perceived severity), prevention and screening (benefits), ignorance and poverty, and ineffective laws and regulations (perceived barriers). Linked to these themes, students’ narration demonstrated the risk of developing cancer if the same environment and inadequate regulations persisted. This study highlights the need to incorporate the participation of adolescents in the design, implementation, and monitoring of several community issues to help address several unanswered questions.
