Lifestyle behaviors generally are established during adolescence and these habits can increase or decrease a person's chance for a healthful and productive life. Thus, it is important that primary prevention and health promotion begin during those early years. A number of deterrents to the use of health promoting programs are identified but for rural residents there may be other barriers associated with demographic, social, geographic, cultural, economic, educational and political factors. Those environmental factors must be considered when planning, implementing and evaluating programs. In turn, provider-community partnerships are an effective strategy to provide services in rural communities within the constraints of limited resources.
生活方式行为通常在青春期形成，这些习惯会增加或减少一个人拥有健康和充实生活的机会。因此，初级预防和健康促进在早年就开始是很重要的。人们确定了一些阻碍健康促进项目实施的因素，但对于农村居民来说，可能还存在与人口、社会、地理、文化、经济、教育和政治因素相关的其他障碍。在规划、实施和评估项目时，必须考虑这些环境因素。反过来，提供者与社区的伙伴关系是在资源有限的情况下为农村社区提供服务的有效策略。
