Answer:
Behavioral inconvenience likely influences every percent-safe score. The more inconvenient the safe behaviors on a CBC, the lower the percent-safe score, unless an intervention has been implemented to improve one or more inconvenient behaviors.
It's certainly logical to think of behavioral inconvenience as varying along a continuous scale from "very easy" to do to "very difficult or impossible" to do. I recommend you ask people to assign a certain behavior a behavioral inconvenience index from 1 to 10, with 1 reflecting "most easy" and 10 representing "most difficult."
Comparing the inconvenience scores of safe versus at-risk behaviors can clarify why safety is often a fight with human nature. In almost every case, inconvenience scores will be higher for safe than at-risk behaviors. And the greater the gap between a safe behavior and its at-risk counterpart, the more difficult it will be to get people to perform the safe alternative. This gap often signifies one or more environmental factors hindering safe behavior.
