This study examined the relationship among health beliefs, health locus of control, and adherence to preventive therapy among tuberculosis infected individuals. It was hypothesized that: (1) there is a relationship between health beliefs and adherence; (2) there is a relationship between health locus of control and adherence; and (3) health beliefs and health locus of control together explain a larger amount of the variability in adherence than either construct alone. A prospective cohort design was used. Survey instruments included the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC), a Health Belief Scale adapted for this study, and background information on the subjects. Multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examined the relationship among health beliefs, health locus of control, and adherence to preventive therapy among tuberculosis infected individuals. It was hypothesized that: (1) there is a relationship between health beliefs and adherence; (2) there is a relationship between health locus of control and adherence; and (3) health beliefs and health locus of control together explain a larger amount of the variability in adherence than either construct alone. A prospective cohort design was used. Survey instruments included the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC), a Health Belief Scale adapted for this study, and background information on the subjects. Multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses.
520 $a The study included 122 volunteers who were prescribed preventive treatment for tuberculosis in chest clinics run by the New York City Department of Health. The subjects were 60% female, and 43% were aged 21 years or younger. Nonhispanic blacks comprised over 60%, and 84% were born outside the continental United States.
520 $a None of the hypotheses were supported. There were no significant relationships among health beliefs, health locus of control, or the two together, and adherence to preventive tuberculosis treatment. Only 6% of the variance was explained by both constructs together. There was borderline significance between adherence and perceived severity (p $< $ 0.09) and adherence and powerful others health locus of control (p $< $ 0.09). There were no significant differences in adherence according to age, race, sex, country of birth, or other social variables. There was a high correlation among all three subscales (internal, chance, and powerful others) on the MHLC, and scores on the latter two scales were higher than those presented in other studies of the instrument.
520 $a The results of this study among a large immigrant population in inner city chest clinics indicate that adherence was not related to the health concepts measured by either of the two instruments used in this study. An understanding of cultural values regarding health, illness prevention, and adherence to treatment is essential in the design of instruments used in multicultural settings.
