本文的目的 本文的主要目的是 (1) 提高专业卫生工作者对选定研究结果和理论的了解，以便他们更好地理解人们为什么以及在什么条件下采取行动来预防、检测和诊断疾病； (2) 提高合格的行为科学家对公共卫生领域存在的行为研究机会和需求的认识。作者的个人哲学是，理解和预测行为的目标应该适当地先于试图说服人们改变他们的健康习惯的目标，尽管行为有时可以在没有清楚了解其原始原因的情况下以有计划的方式改变。如果基于对因果过程的理解，改变行为的努力最终会更加成功。因此，这里将主要关注努力理解人们为什么会有这样的行为。只有这样，才会简要考虑如何说服人们使用卫生服务的问题。
Aims of the Paper The principal aims of this paper are (1) to increase professional health workers’ knowledge of selected research findings and theory so that they may better understand why and under what conditions people take action to prevent, detect and diagnose disease; and (2) to increase awareness among qualified behavioral scientists about the kinds of behavioral research opportunities and needs that exist in public health. A matter of personal philosophy of the author is that the goal of understanding and predicting behavior should appropriately precede the goal of attempting to persuade people to modify their health practices, even though behavior can sometimes be changed in a planned way without clear understanding of its original causes. Efforts to modify behavior will ultimately be more successful if they grow out of an understanding of causal processes. Accordingly, primary attention will here be given to an effort to understand why people behave as they do. Only then will brief consideration be given to problems of how to persuade people to use health services.
