Health behaviour impact on health and quality of life of individuals and populations is direct. Shifting health behaviour into pro-health direction is multi-conditioned process and composes of complexity of phenomena involved. Health education strategies which include self-efficacy will be more effective when people will be convinced about their ability to change their own health behaviours.
