The Americans In Motion - Healthy Interventions (AIM-HI) research project brings together the AAFP NRN and the AAFP’s public health initiative, Americans In Motion (AIM). This project will develop and evaluate a practice improvement program to improve family physicians’ delivery of effective patient-centered behavior change interventions for "fitness" (physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being).
We seek to develop a unique program that positions fitness in a central role as “the treatment of choice” when dealing with issues of prevention and treatment of chronic conditions. In addition, this newly developed program is intended to help shift the paradigm of family physicians’ use of common advice-giving methods to more effective patient-centered lifestyle counseling. Ultimately, this program will seek to improve care for all patients through fitness-related physician interventions.
