Social cognitive theory conceptual pathways for how efficacy expectations can influence behavior directly and indirectly through outcome expectations, goals, and perceived sociostructural facilitators and barriers.

Conceptual model for behavioral strategies to modify risk factors in primary and secondary prevention.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Combinations of precision and extent of barriers addressed incorporated into the design of behavior change interventions. Whereas intervention A is easiest to implement and has low efficacy due to low precision and partially addressing barriers to behavior change, intervention B is challenging to implement and has low efficacy due to low individual precision while attempting to address all barriers, and intervention C is challenging to implement and has low efficacy due to high individual precision yet only partially addressing barriers, intervention D has the highest efficacy but is also the most challenging to implement from the combination of high precision and addressing all barriers relevant to the individual.
