Abstract

A Lifestyle Medicine Center integrates behavioral medicine principles, expertise, and interventions to facilitate patient change. A definition of the field of behavioral medicine is provided, and key models of behavioral change at three intervention levels are identified. Focal behaviors for change and practical, evidence-based assessment tools are highlighted. Also, a set of evidence-based intervention approaches for behavior change in lifestyle medicine practices and structural approaches, including technologies, for integrating behavioral medicine in these practices is described. Lastly, credentials and professional training resources in behavioral medicine are presented.
