Funded Activity Summary

The proposed study will evaluate an intervention designed to assist patients with chronic medical conditions to make lifestyle changes that will benefit their health and reduce the complications associated with their conditions. The study targets patients in a disadvantaged Southeast Qld community and is led by researchers from QUT's Centre for Public Health Research in collaboration with local-, state-, and national-level health service organizations. The health behaviour intervention model emphasises the following: a) a partnership between general practice and community care resources, b) a more coherent (ie, less fragmented) and sustained inter-sectoral effort, c) an approach that is responsive to the needs of individual consumers, their families and the community.
