Behavior science tells us that people progress through stages of readiness as they consider making a behavior change. In this webinar, lifestyle coaches will learn more about the science of readiness to integrate into their delivery of the National DPP. Webinar participants will hear how lifestyle coaches are incorporating readiness assessment into their lifestyle change programs, and most importantly how lifestyle coaches can use their understanding of the change process to support participants in their diabetes prevention efforts.
