The planned behavior theory an extension of the theory of reasoned action is used in explaining health behaviors and in case of interventions where individuals control their behaviors and their intentions influence their actions. The educational intervention was cervical cancer screening among Latina women where the perceived behavioral control predicted to intention for cervical cancer screening (Roncancio, al 2015). The theory supposes that the intention and behavioral control influence planned action where the behavioral control is ability, while the motivation is the intention. There is an assumption that there is actual control over the behavior and this was reflected in the participants’ willingness to go for screening and reflects the success of the theory in health education and intervention. The theory was more successful in health education when there was involvement of family members, friends and medical practitioners in the health intervention as there was intention to be screened for cervical cancer.
