Patient Activation scores range from 0-100 and are divided into 4 levels. Level 1 (scores 47.0 or lower) is associated with not believing that one has a role to play in self-management of chronic conditions. Level 2 (scores 47.1-55.1) is associated with a lack of knowledge and confidence to take action in self-management of chronic conditions. Level 3 (scores 55.2-67.0) is associated with beginning to take action in self-management, and Level 4 (scores greater than 67.1) is associated with maintaining behavior change, though individuals may still experience difficulties overcoming obstacles9.
