How this fits in

Behaviour change is a core tenet of family medicine, and behaviour change tools enhance patients’ intrinsic motivation, confidence, knowledge, and skills to take action and improve their health behaviours. This study systematically reviewed literature to identify behaviour change tools available for use by family doctors when caring for priority patients, including people from low-income, rural, or culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and First Nations people. Twelve heterogenous tools were identified, many with demonstrated effectiveness and feasibility. These tools are an opportunity to support family doctors to help priority patients achieve healthier lifestyles.
