Stages of Change and Integrated Health Care

Watch Dr. Carlo DiClemente, co-creator of the Transtheoretical Model of intentional behavior change, discuss adoption and use of this model within a whole health, integrated care framework. We review the multidimensional tasks identified in the stages of change model, recent research and applications with alcohol, substance use and smoking interventions, and application to other health behaviors and chronic conditions such as diabetes management and medication adherence. Methods to expand use of the model for initiation, modification and cessation of health behavior will are discussed, including adoption and implementation of innovations at the organizational level.
