McPherson Model

The McPherson Model is a framework used to understand how people make decisions regarding their health and well-being. It emphasizes the importance of both external factors, like access to healthcare or community support, and internal factors, such as personal beliefs and motivations. The model suggests that health behaviors are influenced by a combination of individual characteristics, social influences, and environmental factors, all of which work together to shape a person’s choices. This holistic approach helps researchers and practitioners develop strategies to promote healthier behaviors effectively.
