What is the role of behavior change in disease maintenance and prevention?
Human behavior plays a central role in the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease. Growing evidence suggests that effective programs to change individual health behavior require a multifaceted approach to helping people adopt, change, and maintain behavior.
How can a behavioral change model effect the health of an individual?

How do you support behavior change?
Express empathy (through reflective listening) Develop discrepancy (between the individual’s goals and their current behaviour) Avoid argumentation. Roll with resistance (acknowledge and explore the individual’s resistance to change, rather than opposing it) Support self-efficacy.
How does behavior change take place in a person?
Successful behavior change requires a motivated individual (based on pleasure/pain, hope/fears, or social acceptance/rejection), who has the ability to perform the new behavior, and requires a trigger to make the change. Triggers are factors, internal or external to the individual, that remind them to make the change.

How does the environment affect human behavior?
There may be features of a particular environment that contribute to the occurrence of particular behaviour. It is therefore possible, that by changing the environment (sometimes referred to as ‘ecological manipulation’), the likelihood of the behaviour occurring can be reduced.
