Flowchart shows the following antecedents for participant factors and health behaviors: age, race/ethnicity, income, education, marital status, health insurance, social resources, and functional health status. Antecedents lead directly to the following participant factors: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, knowledge, health literacy, appraisal of health, and coping efforts. Participant factors lead directly to health behaviors: screenings, diet, physical activity, and regular check-ups. The Men’s Fellowship Breakfast, which directly affects participant factors and health behaviors, offers informational support, appraisal support, social support, emotional support, and cues to action.
