The scale is composed of six, five-point Likert-type items intended to measure the degree to which being concerned and sensitive about health issues is part of a person's daily life.
The scale is composed of five, five-point Likert-type items that measure the level of familiarity a person expresses having with preventive health care behaviors.
This Likert-like scale is intended to measure the degree to which people say they are concerned about health hazards and try to take actions to protect themselves before the problems occur. As noted below, several versions of the scale have been used, each with a slightly different emphasis. Moorman (1990) used a subset of the scale that emphasized actions taken to protect one's self before health problems occur. In the same study she also had a six-item scale that focused on the motivation to not take action to protect one's health unless a problem has occurred. Moorman and Matulich (1993) as well as Jayanti and Burns (1998) used different combinations of items from those two previous scales.
The scale is composed of five, five-point items intended to measure a person's attitude about the costs and benefits of engaging in preventive health care behavior.
The probability that a person engages in activities related to maintaining good health is measured using seventeen, three-point items.
