Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Self-Care Stimulating Disease Prevention Program (SCSDPP)

The SCSDPP development is guided by the following premises: a) patient-directed lifestyle change or "self-prescription" of behavior change is potentially a more empowering, sustainable, and proactive approach to addressing personal health habits than the more conventional physician-directed approach; b) patient-directed lifestyle change or "self-prescription" of behavior change is potentially an important predictor of self-efficacy and long-term adherence to healthy habits; c) behavior change in isolation is less sustainable than change that is reinforced by other distinct but related changes (e.g., the potential synergy of improving diet and physical activity concurrently to prevent chronic disease); d) a multi-level change directed at the service delivery system and physician support, however small, has the added benefit of potentially reducing provider and staff burden while maximizing available clinic and community resources; and f) brief physician counseling
