Goals
- Develop, from existing materials, sets of culturally appropriate patient education materials to support office-based counseling on behavioral change for physical activity, diet and emotional well-being (depression and anxiety).
- Develop, from existing materials, an evidence-based educational/implementation program to improve delivery of effective patient-centered lifestyle counseling during routine office visits.
- Evaluate the impact of an evidence-based educational/implementation program using a randomized controlled trial.
- Evaluate the effects of encouraging clinicians and office staff to personally use educational tools and how this affects the intervention as delivered to patients.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on (both primary and secondary) patient level behavioral change and additional physiologic measures of increased exercise and improved diet.
