Indeed, a number of recommendations for future research using the IBM emerged from this investigation. First, to more accurately assess the utility of the IBM a time-series research design is suggested. The IBM posits that the intention to perform a behavior is the strongest predictor of behavioral performance. Assessing a respondent's intention to perform a behavior at time one and measuring how much they performed the behavior at time two warrants additional inquiry. Further, in order to assess construct validity more effectively, prospective research needs to be conducted with the IBM. Additional assessments should include other high-risk behaviors, such as marijuana use, cigarette smoking, or prescription drug abuse. There are many applications for this model; expanding it to other populations such as minorities, athletes, or Greek social fraternities or sororities represents additional possibilities.
