Based on research including theories of Stages of Change and Decision Balance, and by incorporating examples from daily clinical practice, this document sets out the guiding principles to support health professionals in better understanding and empowering patients to change lifestyle and behaviour. These principles describe a general approach to patients’ empowerment, consisting of three main tools: the LINE, the BOX and the CIRCLE.
It specifically addresses the major risk factors such as smoking, diet, alcohol consumption and physical activity by putting the focus of action upstream to the causes of these types of lifestyle and behaviour. It is built on accumulating evidence, which shows that tailoring interventions to the characteristics of the target audience is key for success. (Less)
