Abstract

□ A large proportion of disease and death cases could be prevented, if efficacious programs, particularly concerning tobacco smoking, obesity, and alcohol risk drinking, could be applied. Feasible approaches are based, among others, on the Transtheoretical Model of intentional health behavior change. This model allows to develop practical approaches to reduce risk factors of common diseases at the general population level. Evidence about the promotion of the intention to change health risk behaviors revealed successes, e.g., according to smoking cessation. The effects are growing by time. Intervention that is focused at the promotion of change of health risk behaviors can add to the improvement of health care.
