Abstract
As part of a larger study investigating treatment compliance with an over-the-counter acne medication, 28 undergraduates were administered the Health Belief Questionnaire (HBQ), the Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS), and a Self-Efficacy Scale (SES). Stepwise regression analyses were performed with these scales as the predictors and the following measures as criterion variables: compliance rate, change in acne severity, change in number of acne lesions, dropout, and satisfaction. Results indicate that the HBQ significantly predicted outcome on a number of measures and was a better predictor than self-consciousness or self-efficacy.Keywords
