• Motivation is critical– “What would you like to do?”– “How about making a change?”
• Giving information to a patient ready to change will motivate him/her for positive change.
• For simple behaviours just simple reminders may be enough. Difficult changes such as diet may need special discussion sessions.
Good News!
