Immediate Intervention
The 'BETTER' prevention practitioner intervention involves assessment of a person's current participation, or lack of participation, among domains of evidence-based chronic disease prevention and surveillance (CDPS) actions. The assessment is followed several days later by a supportive meeting with a prevention practitioner nurse, using principles of shared decision making and health coaching, to establish goals for accomplishing CDPS activities of the individual's choice during the subsequent six months to develop personal goals and targets for participating in CDPS actions during the following six months. In BETTER HEALTH: DURHAM, the prevention practitioner nurse will be a public health nurse from the Durham Region Health Department.
Wait List Intervention
The control arm will receive the prevention practitioner intervention 6 months after the intervention arm. Their outcomes will not be assessed in the study.
