Practitioners typically presume\n they should drive the process of patient behaviour change. Attempts to transfer\n these approaches to primary care, and a broader range of health risk\n behaviours, have been less successful. The TADS programme (Tobacco, Alcohol and\n Other Drugs, later Training and Development Services) began teaching\n motivational interviewing and brief interventions to practitioners in New\n Zealand in 1996. Formal and informal evaluations showed that practitioners used\n screening tools that patients rejected and that led to incomplete disclosure,\n used language that did not engage patients, failed to identify the behaviours\n patients wished to address and therefore misdirected interventions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Iterative development of new tools with input from patients and primary\n care clinicians.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n The TADS programme developed a questionnaire whose results remained\n private to the patient, which enabled the patient to identify personal\n behaviours that they might choose to change (the TADS Personal Assessment\n Choice Tool). This was assisted by a brief conversation that facilitated and\n supported any change prioritised by the patient (the TADS Brief Opportunistic\n Interaction). The need for this approach, and its effectiveness, appeared to be\n similar across adults, youth, different ethnic groups and people in different\n socio-economic circumstances. Behaviours patients identified were often linked\n to other health risk behaviours or early-stage mental health disorders that\n were not easily detected by practitioner-driven screening or inquiry. The\n long-term effectiveness of this approach in different populations in primary\n health care settings requires further evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1463423615000511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,20]],"date-time":"2015-11-20T04:13:29Z","timestamp":1447992809000},"page":"319-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Developing Brief Opportunistic Interactions: practitioners facilitate patients\n to identify and change health risk behaviours at an early preventive stage"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Barbara","family":"Docherty","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Auckland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolette","family":"Sheridan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Auckland"},{"name":"University of Auckland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Kenealy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Auckland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1463423615000511_manual_ref-55","first-page":"33","article-title":"Health reform in an ageing Australia: silos or structural reform?","volume":"24","author":"Sammut","year":"2009","journal-title":"Australasian Parliamentary Review"},{"key":"S1463423615000511_manual_ref-49","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1102","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.47.9.1102","article-title":"In search of how people change.
