Health Belief Model
Theory Summary
"Two major factors influence the likelihood that a person will adopt a recommended preventive health action.
First they must feel personally threatened by the disease i.e. they must feel personally susceptible to a disease with serious or severe consequences .
Second they must believe that the benefits of taking the preventive action outweigh the perceived barriers to (and/or costs of) preventive action."

This way of looking at acceptability chances of communication is very useful to communication practictioner and planner. A little bit of elaboration is necessary to explain the concept further.
