Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine associations among SARS preventive health behaviors, demographic characteristics, and six components of the HBM (i.e., perceived threat, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, environmental cues, knowledge, and self-efficacy). Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine associations among SARS preventive health behaviors, demographic characteristics, and six components of the HBM (i.e., perceived threat, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, environmental cues, knowledge, and self-efficacy) ( Table 1) . For volitional health behaviors of facemask-wearing to prevent SARS, environmental cues, practice of habitual health behaviors, and perceived threat were positive correlates (r ϭ .40, .38, and .27, respectively; p Ͻ .05). This study showed that among six components of the HBM, perceived threat and cues to action were more salient correlates of SARS preventive health behaviors among Chinese adolescents.	./cache/cord-313754-f4sq45gy.txt	./txt/cord-313754-f4sq45gy.txt
