  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Strategies and Tools to Promote Treatment Engagement

Abstract

In this chapter, authored by the leading authorities in the stage approach, readers learn how to engage entire populations in the change process, including those who are uninformed, discouraged, or resistant. A sophisticated understanding of how the characteristics of individuals across the stages of readiness impact engagement is delivered. Next, the application of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change and specific tools for implementation is provided. Readers will gain or expand their understanding of applying the stage model to engaging patients in their health journey.
