Treatment and study plan

Self-management goal elicitation

Behavioral

The intervention will be a form, given prior to a primary care visit, that allows patients to express a self-management goal (health goal) they would like to work on, and a preferred treatment modality.

Primary outcomes

  1. Self-rated health

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Single item measure of self rated health:

    "How would you rate your overall health during the past week? (1=Very Poor, 7=Excellent)?"

    We will compare scores between groups as well as change over 6-weeks between groups.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Health behavior improvement

    Time frame: 6 Weeks

    Our secondary outcome measure will include a measure of behavior specific improvements. We will evaluate both component improvements for their specified behavior, as well as the composite score of negative health behaviors assessed from a series of questions.
