Indeed, the Model is an appropriate way to gain a better understanding of what causes people to make certain health behavior decisions, such as those which are likely to have caused pregnant women to bypass regular medical attention or to have failed to take the necessary lifestyle precautions during pregnancy to protect her health and that of her unborn child. Without question, issues of poverty and a shortfall of necessary resources will be relevant causes. However, the premise of the message campaign will be to disseminate information about self-care that can help those lacking access. Additionally, we act from the presumption that the scarcity of resources also means that where such are available, there may be a dearth of distributed information to make women aware of these options.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to deduce that a perspective through this model might help to reveal such possible causes for maternal and infant mortality and thus, help to mitigate some of these causes through the adoption of newly learned behaviors.
The use of the Health Belief Model should contribute to the construction of an examination that seeks to alter negative health behavior by isolating such root causes as fear or ignorance and establishing empirical connections between patterns and consequences. Ultimately, the illumination of such connections could be considered a valuable means to addressing and improving existent living conditions for pregnant women in the developing world.

A literature review on the subject may help to justify the necessity of such a message design, the use of the Health Belief Model in its execution and an overall refinement in the orientation of women in the developing world toward pregnancy as serious medical responsibility.
