Summary

A new working method, i.e. a questionnaire completed at home followed by a patient-centred preventive health consultation with follow-up, can be used by all general practitioners (GPs) as a preventive offer to their patients with multiple problems in lifestyle, well-being or health behaviour, if this project is shown to be effective.

The investigators use a broad preventive offer in a structured way to young adults with multiple psychosocial problems (a certain risk profile) found by a screening questionnaire when arriving to the clinic.

The main hypothesis of the project is:

By using the questionnaire and subsequent patient-centred health consultation the GP is able to support the participants to improve their resources, their well-being and self-estimated health. Subsequently, relevant changes in health habits and life situation might be initiated in order to prevent or reduce future problems or illness.
