Multiple Risk Behavior Intervention in Health Care Settings

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Health Behavior, Risk Reduction Behavior

In brief

This study (aka Healthy Directions2 or HD2) builds on an earlier study titled Healthy Directions (aka Healthy Directions 1 or HD1). HD1 was an intervention designed to target cancer prevention among multi-ethnic populations; it led to significant improvements in the multiple risk behavior score (consumption of red meat, fruits and vegetables, and multi-vitamins). Building on the success of HD1, HD2 further expanded the intervention to include smoking and physical activity. In addition, it expanded the study goals to include increasing efficacy across all target risk behaviors, and promoting long-term maintenance of behavior change.
