EPPM is based on Leventhal's danger control/ fear control framework and on Roger's [[protection motivation theory]].<ref>https://www.msu.edu/~wittek/fearback.htm</ref> It is commonly used in health communication campaigns when a message is attempting to persuade audience members to adopt a healthy behavior.
