Summary

The study aims at:

Using Intervention mapping as a planning approach for behavior change intervention programs, based on an ecological approach to health and local community and user participation.

* Explore the behavioral change processes utilizing qualitative methods.
* Develop theory-based behavior change programs across different domain at healthy living centres.
* Evaluate the effect of behavior change intervention programs across different domains.
* Increase health providers' competence in effective behavioral change intervention techniques by networks and education seminars between municipalities and research groups.
* The programs will specifically target the underlying causes of chronic disease. The investigators will map the distribution of lifestyle habits among individuals and families. The investigators will also explore how lifestyle habits relate to known determinants of social health inequality, such as adverse previous experiences, participation in working life and low income.
* The investigators also intend to study if socioeconomic differences are of importance for entering or dropping out of HLC interventions, and the ability to sustain lifestyle changes. The investigators will do so by stratified analyses, or by using socioeconomic variables as determinants in effect analyses.
