EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Use a conceptual model of beneficent persuasion to analyze determinants of a patient’s behavior
What you'll get
You probably have heard or experienced this yourself: "Patients want to be healthy, but why don't they adhere to the medical advice from their health teams?"
In this course, you'll learn a model of the determinants of behavior, particularly voluntary action. Researchers and other professionals have applied it to promote public transportation, physical activity, condom use, and medication adherence. Use this model to improve your clinical reasoning process today.
For optimal learning outcomes, we encourage you to take #S04 after taking this course.
