Without question, issues of poverty and a shortfall of necessary resources will be relevant causes. However, the premise of the message campaign will be to disseminate information about self-care that can help those lacking access. Additionally, we act from the presumption that the scarcity of resources also means that where such are available, there may be a dearth of distributed information to make women aware of these options.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to deduce that a perspective through this model might help to reveal such possible causes for maternal and infant mortality and thus, help to mitigate some of these causes through the adoption of newly learned behaviors. The use of the Health Belief Model should contribute to the construction of an examination that seeks to alter negative health behavior by isolating such root causes as fear or ignorance and establishing empirical connections between...
Ultimately, the illumination of such connections could be considered a valuable means to addressing and improving existent living conditions for pregnant women in the developing world.
A literature review on the subject may help to justify the necessity of such a message design, the use of the Health Belief Model in its execution and an overall refinement in the orientation of women in the developing world toward pregnancy as serious medical responsibility.

Tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use can lead to birth defects, low birth weight, and premature delivery (HHS, 2006). All of these are listed as the major causes of infant mortality (CDC). Given the literature and public service announcements produced on these subjects over the past several decades, it is difficult to believe that anyone in this country is unaware of the detrimental effects these things can have on a

The majority of Texas school districts "either teach an abstinence-only health curriculum or avoid talking about sex altogether" and the result? Texas has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the
