The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness of a range of psychological models to predict the health professional behaviour referral for lumbar spine x-ray in patients presenting with low back pain by UK primary care physicians. Methods Psychological measures were collected by postal questionnaire survey from a random sample of primary care physicians in Scotland and north England. The outcome measures were clinical behaviour referral rates for lumbar spine x-rays behavioural simulation lumbar spine x-ray referral decisions based upon scenarios and behavioural intention general intention to refer for lumbar spine x-rays in patients with low back pain . Explanatory variables were the constructs within the Theory of Planned Behaviour TPB Social Cognitive Theory SCT Common Sense Self-Regulation Model CS-SRM Operant Learning Theory OLT Implementation Intention II Weinstein s Stage Model termed the Precaution Adoption Process PAP and knowledge. For each of the outcome measures a generalised linear model was used to examine the predictive value of each theory individually. Linear regression was used for the intention and simulation outcomes and negative binomial regression was used for the behaviour outcome. Following this theory level analysis a cross-theoretical construct analysis was conducted to investigate the combined predictive value of all individual constructs across theories. Results
