虽然对健康行为理论（HBT）的研究正在迅速进行，但该领域在理解健康行为方面真正取得进展的程度受到质疑。这一问题将在本文中讨论。首先，我们讨论了HBT文献中的问题。其次，我们讨论了HBT的扩散，为什么理论比较是必不可少的这一领域的研究。最后，我们反思的方式，该领域可能会提出一个新的议程HBT的研究。有人认为，增加认识的相似性的健康行为结构，以及增加的经验比较的理论是必不可少的真正的科学进步，在这条线的调查。
Although research on Health Behavior Theory (HBT) is being conducted at a rapid pace, the extent to which the field is truly moving forward in understanding health behavior has been questioned. This issue is examined in the current article. First, we discuss the problems within the HBT literature. Second, we discuss the proliferation of HBT and why theory comparison is essential to this area of research. Finally, we reflect on ways that the field might move forward by suggesting a new agenda for HBT research. It is argued that increased recognition of the similarity of health behavior constructs as well as increased empirical comparisons of theories are essential for true scientific progress in this line of inquiry.
